About Me

As a recent graduate of the University of South Carolina Upstate, my goal is to bring something new to the table. Graduating with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Creative Writing, my education allows me to be flexible in all areas. My aspirations are in Web Development, however I would love the opportunity to learn roles in Application Development, or even Software Development. I currently work part-time for my university as a SharePoint Online Specialist while I continue to grow my skills and wait for the perfect opportunity!
