01. About me
I am a creative, passionate, and hardworking thinker who seeks to foster connections and innovation by harnessing the power of leadership and technology. Growing up in the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia, I discovered the value of genuine human connection. While serving as my High School’s class and school president I saw the need to overcome the hypercompetitive culture and lead the school population of 4,000 students to celebrate diversity and school spirit. Currently, I am studying Computer Science at Virginia Tech and am thankful for the people surrounding me who continue to inspire, push, and support me.
Beyond my keyboard, I keep myself busy with a multitude of hobbies, interests, and side hustles. When I need a break from my studies, I can be found playing jazz riffs on my bass guitar, managing my home server rack, tinkering with my 3D printer / Raspberry Pis, or designing, developing, and implementing my latest SAAS idea. I am a lifelong learner and self-starter who finds joy in bettering myself through practical application and continuous learning. My experiences and interests so far have shown me that I am capable of learning, thriving, and innovating upon anything I apply myself to.
