Summary

College graduate with excellent research, technical and problem-solving skills. Detail-oriented and able to learn new concepts quickly.

I love learning new things because it keeps adding new challenges to whatever i'm doing. Mastering skills and then teaching them to others while maintaining a team is also one of my favorite things to do. I want to be able to be a part of management in the near future and have a team that I can teach and show-off the work. Whether it be my Pratt cheer squad at nationals, or my crew at Worthington I want to be great at whatever I am doing.
