Back home, I’m heading into my fourth year at Georgia Tech, where I study Industrial Engineering with a minor in Business. Through that mix, I’ve had the opportunity to step into roles like Project Manager for my capstone and Product Manager in a Product Development course.

As Product Manager, I led my team through almost the entire product development process, from customer discovery to prototyping. This was my first glimpse into understanding what working with product entailed, and I absolutely loved it. Our project targeted elite high school and college athletes, and my favorite part was getting to interview many of them to gather their insights.

Outside of the classroom, I also served as Internal Vice President of the Filipino Student Association. One of my proudest projects was initiating the #FSALovesSports campaign, where I recruited 20+ members to play in inaugural basketball and volleyball teams with the goal of promoting active lifestyles in the organization.
