Growing up in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, I aspire to one day improve my country's health and education sector. I started college wanting to be a biomedical engineer, but after competing in hackathons and pitch competitions, I thought I could better help people access care and learning with technology. Hence, my CS journey began!

Fast forward to today, I'm a URA @ Gedas Lab, working with grad students on CV models for health and learning VR applications. I'm also a director of technology @ Pearl Hacks and a former lead @ Computer Science & Social Good, using my love for coding to promote the former to more students and increase nonprofits' productivity.

Outside of work, you'll find me making Notion templates, organizing home cafes with my friends , singing, visiting art museums, and reading sci-fi novels.

If you want to share any sci-fi/matcha recommendations, start a project together, or simply chat, feel free to email me at meliorah@ad.unc.edu!
