Juan Zurita - Resume

About

Hi! I'm Juan Zurita, a Computer Science student at BYU-Idaho. I was born in Bolivia 🇧🇴, but when I was 4 years old, my family moved to Spain 🇪🇸, where I grew up and have lived most of my life.

I'm passionate about technology and AI, and I love creating anything that can have a real impact in the world. I enjoy learning a broad range of topics and I'm continuously looking for new challenges. I built this static vanilla JavaScript website to host my resume and showcase my design abilities. I hope you enjoy it!

Experience

Online Teacher Assistant for WDD230

Brigham Young University - Idaho

April 2023 - Present

Being a TA has helped me acquire valuable skills which I can use on any project I work on. Troubleshooting is something really important as much as providing support to others. These abilities help me write clean code and think about the accessibility for my projects.

Provided guidance and support to 20+ students in web development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Guided students to achieve proficiency in creating responsive, well-designed, and interactive web pages using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Assisted students in understanding and implementing web development concepts, troubleshoot coding issues, and contribute to a collaborative learning environment.

International Services Processor

Brigham Young University - Idaho

November 2022 - August 2023

As an international student in the United States, I know first-hand how difficult it can be for us to adapt to a different culture and learn the most important regulations. Working in the International Services office at BYU-Idaho, I assisted students with migratory issues or concerns. I also helped to process I-20s for incoming students.

Efficiently handled walk-ins, phone calls, and emails, providing information and directing students to appropriate departments.
Assisted students with administrative processes and immigration-related questions, offering guidance and facilitating necessary paperwork.
Maintained organized records, schedule appointments, and perform general administrative tasks with attention to detail and multitasking abilities.
