About Me
Computer Scientist
I’ve taken a unique path through my academic career – always striving for the highest goal; always looking forward to the next challenge. Since I started my college career at the University of Southern Maine, I’ve been continuing to strive for the highest possible bar. I’ve now graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a perfect 4.0 GPA.
I’ve always been interested in computers since an early age and always known that my career would involve computer science in some capacity. Being able to work with code every day is a continued dream. I’m in my element when tackling a complex technical issue or programming an efficient algorithm.
Now that I’ve graduated college, I’m looking for my next challenge.
