I'm a senior software engineer, a fierce advocate for diversity in tech, and a doting Corgi mom. 👩🏽‍💻

I have over six years of full-time software engineering experience with a heavy focus on product and web frontend development. My specialties lie in growth engineering, design systems, and accessibility. 🛠️

Outside work, I enjoy speaking, teaching, and mentoring to lead by example and inspire the next generation of software engineers. 🚀

I am based in the Greater Cleveland area, with my partner and our two Corgis, Luna & Sueño. 🐾

I was born and raised in Norfolk, Virginia, and I identify as Peruvian-American. 🇵🇪

I am passionate about supporting and uplifting Latinx professionals in tech (especially Latina software engineers), employee resource groups, and software engineering apprentices. 💛

I've enjoyed having my work published through GitHub's ReadME project.
