Summary

Driven by a passion for technology, I honed my leadership and teamwork skills as the Vex Robotics Team Leader and a member of the Tri-M Music Honors Society. Coming to RIT has only encouraged this passion more. Becoming a computer engineer means solving problems with enthusiasm and efficiency, which has been my improved mindset throughout my education. My experience in my extracurricular roles, coupled with strong verbal communication and a flexible approach, propelled me towards a career path filled with collaborative success and innovation.
