Who I am
I'm a software support engineer and developer with a recent B.S. in Information and Cybersecurity Operations. What interests me most about technology is the intersection between systems and people — understanding how software behaves in the real world, how problems are diagnosed, and how technology can make work more effective rather than more complicated.
Before moving into technology professionally, I spent years working directly with clients as an independent insurance agent. That experience taught me the value of listening carefully, communicating clearly, and understanding the real problem before trying to solve it. Working in a client-focused environment also gave me an appreciation for reliability, trust, and the importance of getting things right.
This fall I begin a Master's in Artificial Intelligence Management at Georgetown University, where I'll be studying how software, automation, and emerging technologies can be applied in practical and meaningful ways.
What ties it all together is a preference for thoughtful, dependable work — technology that serves a purpose, communication that's straightforward, and a willingness to keep learning as the field continues to evolve.
Service & leadership
My professional journey began in the United States Marine Corps. I don't mention it because it's unique; I mention it because it shaped how I approach work more than any other experience in my career.
The Marine Corps runs on Honor, Courage, and Commitment, and on holding yourself accountable whether or not anyone is watching. I learned to stay steady under pressure, follow through on what I say I'll do, and take responsibility for the people and the work around me. That discipline and reliability still set the standard I hold myself to.

A business perspective
Before moving into technology professionally, I spent several years working directly with clients in the insurance industry. The industry itself isn't the point — the experience is.
That work required building trust, listening carefully, and helping people navigate important decisions during uncertain moments. I learned that most problems aren't solved by talking more; they're solved by understanding what matters to someone and communicating clearly enough to help them move forward.
Working with clients day after day taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of following through on commitments. It also reinforced something I still believe today: strong relationships are built through consistency, honesty, and a genuine willingness to help.
Those lessons have stayed with me throughout my career and continue to influence how I approach both people and problems.

Where I'm headed
This fall I begin a Master's in Artificial Intelligence Management at Georgetown University. For me, it's the next step in understanding one of the most significant technological shifts of our time — not just how to use AI, but how it works, how it should be governed, and how organizations can adopt it responsibly.
I'm interested in the intersection of software, automation, artificial intelligence, and technology strategy. I want to better understand both the systems that make these technologies possible and the opportunities they create when applied thoughtfully. That means learning not only what these tools can do today, but also their limitations, risks, and long-term implications.
The world is changing quickly, and I see technology as a force that can expand human capability, create new opportunities, and reshape entire industries. My goal is to continue learning, building, and adapting so I can contribute meaningfully to that future while helping others navigate it responsibly.
