I am originally from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. I am a graduate of Kean University with a B.S. in Computer Science: Information Systems and Utica College with a M.S. in Cybersecurity. I currently work as an IT&S Senior Field Service Analyst at RWJBarnabas Health.

When I was younger, I could not have told anyone what I wanted to do, as I did not even know myself. I just followed trends that my friends were into. Eventually, it led to me saving up money to buy my very own computer. This is where my interest sparked, and my curiosity took over. I began learning how to program, design web pages, and even build my own computers. Friends, family, and even strangers soon looked to me as a knowledgeable figure. It was something I had never felt before. I could not state what made me stand out as an individual until that point in my life.

Back then, my interest in technology was still only a hobby. It was not until high school that I considered computer science as my career choice. I knew that I liked working with technology but had no idea what part of it was my favorite. High school electives were my way of trying to branch out into new things. I learned object-oriented programming, how to service computers, graphic design, and video editing techniques. My favorite classes were computer servicing and programming. By the end of my high school senior year, I had been given the principal's award for industrial technology. This only motivated me further in my decision to go to school for computer science. In addition, computer science matched my experiences, interests, and acquired skill set. While in the pursuit of even higher education, acknowledging the growing needs of cybersecurity in all sectors, I have completed Utica College's graduate level, Department of Defense sponsored cybersecurity program.

Looking forward, I want to expand my presence in the tech world. I am interested in all forms of technology, from trends and news to media editing, system administration, and computer maintenance. I feel it is my purpose to help companies adapt in a changing, technologically-driven world that demands it.
