About me

I'm an organized, motivated learner who thrives on solving problems — whether that's debugging a stubborn Java GUI at 1 a.m. or running a back-of-house at Chick-fil-A during a Friday rush.

At Niagara University I study Computer Information Systems with a Spanish minor, and I'm part of the University Honors Program. Outside of class you'll usually find me on the ice with ACHA D2 Club Hockey, on a golf course, or building something in Java or Python.

I'm looking for an internship where I can combine my technical skills, leadership background, and love of competition to ship something real.
