About Me

I am a BS Applied Physics student at the University of the Philippines Los Baños. My research focuses on machine learning applications for environmental monitoring, embedded systems development, and scientific research with a strong sustainability focus.

I have hands-on experience through internships and leadership roles. As an intern at the UP Diliman Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute, I worked on digital signal processing and machine learning projects. I also led external communications for the PHYSIKA UP Applied Physics Society and created STEM modules for WiTech (Women in Technology).
