About

Curiosity acrossdisciplines.

I'm interested in more than how technology works. I want to understand how it is secured, managed, governed, and used to create meaningful change.

At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I’m pursuing a dual major in Information Technology and Business Management. My technical coursework in web design, computer science, and cybersecurity is complemented by an interest in strategy, operations, and leadership. I am especially interested in how thoughtful management can turn technical ideas into practical, sustainable solutions. My background in debate, model senate, choir, and live production has taught me to listen closely, communicate clearly, and bring people together around a shared goal.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy singing, photography, football, poetry, and musicals. These creative interests keep my work grounded in people and stories.

What I bring

A Cross-Disciplinary Perspective

01

Web development

Building accessible, responsive experiences with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and foundational Python.

02

Information security

Studying how dependable systems, responsible data practices, and security conscious decisions shape technology.

03

Leadership & communication

Bringing people together through clear communication, thoughtful collaboration, and a people-centered approach to problem solving.

04

Business management

Pursuing a dual major at RPI to explore strategy, operations, leadership, and how technical ideas become meaningful business outcomes.
