Summary

I am a passionate computer science student who is eager to utilize programming as a tool to help others in need and to team up with other ambitious individuals to build ethical software that will continue to advance our civilization. I'm excited to utilize my past customer service background and humanities background (writing, theatre, and film) to help contribute to a dynamic and enjoyable workspace where I can develop not only my technical skills, but also enjoy learning how to be team-player in impactful long and short-term projects.
