My Projects &
Selected Works
Here is the list of my projects that I enjoyed working on, and I believe the skills I developed in these projects will also advance my future projects with you to lead the world!
During COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, I decide to learn new skills at home and review my pre-loaded skillsets using COVID relief student privilege accounts provided by CUNY, and other skill building sites. I then made it my life-time project (Learning Machine Project) and started collecting certificates through the skill trainings everywhere. The official credentials and course details are listed here.

TESTIMONIAL
"Shokolatte is passionate about her education and
a very hard worker. She makes collaboration an ease and adjusts to new environments very quickly." - Bonnie Q Harris, M.A.
"Shoko has been an indispensable part of the Graduate Student Assembly since she joined our team
a year ago. Internally, she created
a structure for sharing organizational and financial documents. Externally, she recruited a team of dedicated grad students to help her build our first independent website, a monthly student newspaper with updates on student life, and documented social
events. She did this all despite the many bureaucratic obstacles that come with working at a public college, which only proves her resilience to accomplish any goal
she has set for herself. Through her hard work, we were able to create
a greater sense of community among graduate students." - Maria Markowicz, Vice President of GSA 2018-2020
