Hi, I recently graduated from Virginia Wesleyan University with a major in Computer Science and a minor in Communications. Throughout my time at university, I actively engaged in various extracurricular activities, enhancing my overall college experience.

One of my notable involvements was serving on the executive boards for Spectrum and Movie Crew. As a member of Spectrum, an organization dedicated to advocating for and supporting the LGBTQ+ community, I contributed to organizing events and activities that fostered inclusivity on campus. Additionally, my role in Movie Crew allowed me to coordinate and host movie events, bringing the Virginia Wesleyan community together for entertaining experiences. These experiences as part of the executive boards enhanced my leadership and teamwork skills, which will prove invaluable as I progress in my career.

My passion lies in utilizing technology to solve problems and improve communication. This passion is evident in my choice of major and minor. Outside of my academic pursuits, I constantly explore the latest advancements in technology and enjoy tinkering with gadgets, further fueling my interest in the field.

As I embark on this new chapter after graduation, I am filled with excitement about the opportunities that await me. I am eager to apply the skills and knowledge I have gained to pursue a career in the tech industry and make a meaningful impact through my work.
