About Me
I’m a senior Information Technology major at William Penn University, graduating in Summer 2026. My passion lies in building robust network infrastructures and solving complex technical challenges.
With extensive hands-on experience in PC hardware assembly, network configuration, and system administration, I bring both theoretical knowledge and practical skills to every project.
In addition to my technical skills, I am an avid musician, and can often be found playing in local bands, such as the William Penn University “Pride of Penn” Marching Band, Jazz Ensemble, and Concert Wind Ensemble. I enjoy these outlets to express my creativity, as well as the strong teamwork and communication skills they’ve helped me to develop.
