About me

Profile Image

I am a current Master's student at the University of Pennsylvania studying Computer and Information Technology. After graduating college, I worked in advertising technology where I worked closely with clients to deploy tracking pixels for their marketing campaigns. This piqued my interest and desire to learn how the web works.

My newfound curiosity led me to enroll in several self-direted web development courses where I learned many of the technologies and frameworks that power the web today. In order to further my knowledge, I enrolled in a Master's program beginning in 2021 where I am studying fundamental concepts of computer science. As a self-motivated, dedicated developer, I am so excited to be a part of this growing field. Check out some of my projects below!
