About Me
Turning Ideas Into Reality
Hey, my name is Aoi! I am a junior studying Business Analytics and Computer Programming at the University of Southern California. I’m passionate about using tech and business together to create impactful solutions, with long-term goals in product management and tech entrepreneurship.
I love building iOS apps and currently contribute to The Daily Trojan as a graphic designer and software engineer. I am also a Project Analyst at techie, a USC business tech organization, collaborating with Soapbox. Through the Cloud Business Technology Group, I’ve also worked on proposals for Crypto.com Arena.
Outside of academics, I play the Sims 4, Mario Party with my siblings, read romance novels, tutor elementary & middle school students, and work as a caregiver.
