About Me

I have always been fascinated by different computing technologies. Growing up I loved playing around on the family computer and as I got older trying to modify my Xbox 360 so I could cheat in Call of Duty. At the time I didn’t realize it, but these planted the seeds of an aspiring passion. To explore this passion, I attended Slippery Rock University to study cybersecurity where I graduated magna cum laude in 2021 with a 3.74 GPA.

During my time at Slippery Rock, I was hired as a computer science tutor and teaching assistant. These jobs made me understand the importance of being able to break down complex technical subjects to a non-technical audience. And how I could use my technical experience to help others.

This made me want to pursue using my technical skills to help others as a career. I got a job with TrueSense Marketing in 2022 to help fulfill this goal. This is where I am currently working as a database specialist. The company sends direct mail on behalf of non-profits. I manage client-facing databases for my role within this organization.

Shortly after being hired, my quest for knowledge within this field led me to studying social data science for my master’s degree at Arizona State University. In this program, I was able to expand my horizons in the field of data science, which also investigated the humanities, and how these fields intertwine.

My time at ASU further led me to wanting to use my technical skills to help others since I learned through both my background in cybersecurity and my new degree in social data science how technology can easily be abused. This is why I find it so important to be able to explain technical processes to non-technical people. They deserve to be informed about what is happening in a world they may be unfamiliar with.

I am dedicated to my career to use technology to help others while making sure they understand how technology impacts them. As a lifelong student I hope to continue learning new skills that lets me explore my passion while helping people as well.
