Welcome to a journey through my academic explorations at the University of Washington's Integrated Social Sciences program. This portfolio is a curated showcase of my deep dive into the intricate world of social systems, unraveling their historical layers and the complex power dynamics woven within. Join me in exploring how these elements intertwine to shape our understanding of society and influence our future.
Our experience of the world and the vast amounts of knowledges we accumulate are mediated in some form.
My academic journey in Integrated Social Sciences has been transformative, reshaping my perspectives and interactions with the world around me. This newfound understanding is not just theoretical; it's a powerful tool I'm eager to apply. My ambition is to drive positive change, particularly in the realms of technology where I'm actively engaged. By integrating these insights into my professional endeavors, I aim to contribute to meaningful advancements and ethical practices in the tech industry.
Filipino-American. Creative. Technologist. Lifelong learner.
In the Integrated Social Sciences program, I've drawn upon my distinct experiences as a BIPOC in America, coupled with my extensive background in technology, to create a rich tapestry of understanding. This unique blend of personal and professional perspectives has been instrumental in translating complex social science theories into practical, real-world applications.
Mediated Media
On the left is a sample from an infographic that I designed. It details the connection between advertising dollars, media technology, and a social science theory called the Hierarchy of Influences. The infographic is an example of an integration of theory, technology, and real-world application.
