About me!

I am a graduate student pursuing an M.S. in Information Technology Management with a foundation in Information Technology and Data Science. Over the years, I have built experience across software development, machine learning, analytics, research, and technical projects.

While my journey began in highly technical disciplines, I discovered that what excited me most was not simply building solutions, but bringing people together to create them. I am naturally drawn to planning, coordination, communication, and leadership, helping teams navigate challenges and achieve shared goals.

As I continue building my career, I am pursuing opportunities in Project Management, Program Management, and Technology Leadership, with long-term aspirations of growing into strategic leadership roles.
