Technology is personal.
The way we use digital systems shapes how we connect, learn, and access opportunity. As a Filipino and Jamaican-American technologist, I care deeply about how tools are built — how they influence who they serve and who they leave behind. My work explores the space between technology, human behavior, and equity: what it means to design with empathy and reduce barriers in moments that really matter.
I believe in a future where technology isn’t just something we use, but something that actively fosters collective well-being and real connection. My goal is simple: make technology work for people, not against them.
Hi, I’m Sabrina 👋🏽 — welcome. Feel free to explore my work and see how I bring these ideas to life.

I'm an INFJ, an Enneagram 4, a Hufflepuff, and a creative at heart. Growing up at the intersection of cultures sparked my curiosity about how technology shapes access, equity, and connection. My values — curiosity, compassion, resilience, awareness, gratitude, bravery, and creativity — guide both my work and the way I navigate the world. I believe in continuous growth, striving to be 1% better every day, and I bring that mindset into everything I do.
When I’m not behind a screen, you’ll find me on the dance floor practicing my Latin dance skills, getting lost in a good book, or doting on my dog, Mia.
