Get in Touch!About Me
I am a passionate software engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and a keen interest in web development. I have experience in various programming languages, frameworks, and tools, and I am always eager to learn new technologies and improve my skills. I enjoy working on challenging projects that require creative problem-solving and collaboration with others.
Outside of software engineering, I am involved with Liberty's Basketball Spirit Band and Liberty's Marching Band on Alto Sax! My participation in these ensembles has allowed me to travel to various locations and perform during college football bowl games as well as national basketball championships.
This summer, I am thrilled to be interning at Genworth for their IT Development Internship! I am looking forward to learning more about how software and engineering is used in insurance and gaining valuable experience in the field.
