About me

What’s up! I'm Jorell Padilla, a student currently attending the University of Houston, with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics, set to graduate in December 2024. I’ve worked at PwC as a Products & Technology Intern, researching and designing for a non-profit initiative dedicated to providing resources to students coming from lower income backgrounds. I’m committed to improving day by day, and placing people at the forefront of all things that I work on.

Professionalism aside, I love cooking, playing RPG’s (Like Pokémon, Undertale, and Mother 3) 👾, chatting with friends, and going on road trips! I’ve connected with many people lately and they’ve been pushing me to be the best I can be, and I’m excited to see where life will lead me.
