Personal Project: Take Lead Impact
A self-initiated website built to showcase the mission and impact of the Take Lead program, which empowers Black women and girls through education, leadership development, and community engagement. The website features student research projects, community service initiatives, and leadership activities from program participants.

Projects
Black Women in STEM Website
An accessible, educational website celebrating the contributions of Black women in STEM. I led the front-end design and development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, integrating features like text-to-speech, alt text, and keyboard navigation to ensure inclusivity. The project emphasizes storytelling, inspiration, and digital equity.
Adobe After Effects Intern
Durring the summer of 2024, helped develop the “Crop Layers to Composition” feature, which automatically resizes selected layers to match comp dimensions. I worked on implementing the cropping logic, handling edge cases, and testing the feature to ensure smooth integration and usability. My work contributed to a feature now showcased in the After Effects product demo.
