Achievements

● Dean’s list student from 2012 to 2016

● At both colleges I attended, neither of them had Computer Science clubs, so I started clubs at Bakersfield Community College and California State University. I hosted 3 different Hack-a-thons, I went to 5 local large companies and asked their HR to talk to their lead software engineer. I was successful each time and hosted sessions where students could ask the professionals career advice

● I petitioned California State University for $4,000 so we could get 30 RaspberryPis for the students, and I hosted many different workshops that utilized the RaspberryPis.

● I currently host a Discord server with roughly 25 members and tutor anyone who will join by using Udemy courses to help out
