Background

I’m a graduate student in Artificial Intelligence at UTEP. My current work covers autonomous-agent evaluation, cyber defense, and reproducible simulation.

I previously earned a B.M. in Instrumental Performance from New Mexico State University and continue to perform and teach violin in El Paso.

Current work

I am pursuing an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Texas at El Paso with a 4.0 GPA. As a 2026 Army HBCU-MI SPARK Research Fellow and a member of UTEP’s Cybersecurity Rapid Innovation Group, I work on evaluation systems, applied defenses for autonomous AI, cyber exercises, and research prototypes.
