About
I've worked in corporate technical support for 10 years now, and I'm transitioning to more freelance-type work. I'm experienced with data analysis, and I'm currently learning Web Development and Cybersecurity through Madison Area Technical College.
When I'm not sitting at a computer, I enjoy just about anything related to sports, games, or music. I'm a lifelong Philadelphia sports fan and enjoy a good sports trivia. I enjoy all sorts of board games and video games, good tv shows, and any sort of live music. I'm interested in technology governance and making tech for users not advertising.

I am currently enrolled in a Cybersecurity program at Madison Area Technical College. I recently finished courses on Linux Server and Windows Client, AI Fundamentals, and IT Security Awareness. I'm currently enrolled in Data Communications (networking), and will be beginning Web Development courses in the Fall 2025. I have also taken courses at Drexel University in Python programming and linear algebra (in progress)
