About Me

I am a senior Computer Science student at Oklahoma State University with a passion for building efficient, user-focused systems and tools that make life easier for teams and individuals.

My background in engineering taught me how to think in systems while my leadership roles, such as VP of Operations for the Oklahoma State Rowing Team, taught me how to lead people, manage resources, and drive change. During my time as VP I worked closely with the Department of Wellness to enact new policies tailored to our organization's needs, which contributed to us receiving Club of the Year honors and securing greater funding support.

I enjoy work that blends technology, strategy, and communication, and I'm especially drawn to roles where I can help build or improve internal tools, coordinate projects, or contribute to long-term technical growth.
