Bio

Hello, my name is Jesvin! I’m a graduate student at DePaul University, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction. With a strong foundation in Psychology and Global Asian Studies from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I am passionate about exploring the intersection of technology, diversity, accessibility, and inclusivity in digital spaces. I have extensive experience in research, writing, and activism. Through my academic and professional endeavors, I have developed my research skills by engaging in qualitative and quantitative studies, providing valuable insights to inform decision-making processes. I have honed my ability to express ideas through compelling writing, tailoring content to connect with diverse audiences. Additionally, my passion for intersectional activism drives me to advocate for inclusivity, social justice, and equal opportunities for marginalized communities.
