know me!

Hello!

I’m Aliya.

I am a Business Information Technology major with a concentration in Decision Support Systems at Virginia Tech. I am also pursuing a minor in Human-Computer Interaction.

Currently, as an Engagement Engineer for VT Student Engagement and Campus Life, I manage cross-campus event logistics and use tools such as Tableau and Canva to enhance the graduate student experience.

My background combines the fast-paced problem-solving of retail management with technical skills in SQL, UX Design, and Data Visualization. Whether I’m building interactive dashboards to track attendance trends or designing high-impact marketing materials, I thrive on turning complex problems into organized, creative solutions.
