About Me

I put my all into my projects in life and people can count on me to be fair and just, as I deliver on my promises. I jump at opportunities where I can combine my love for technology and innovation with my passion for inspiring the next generation with a career in S.T.E.M. I thoroughly enjoy mentoring others to help support and stretch their way of thinking. I hope to help others reach their potential and provide feedback in the process to ensure I'm helping the mentee achieve their goals. My personality type is INFP-T (if you're interested)!
