Building Solutions That Matter

I'm a senior IT student at Florida State University with a passion for simplifying complexity through automation, analytics, and thoughtful design.

Across public-sector internships, I've shipped dashboards, streamlined SharePoint processes, and translated messy data into clear decisions. My work focuses on making technology work better for people—whether that's automating repetitive tasks, visualizing complex datasets, or designing intuitive interfaces.
