About

I'm a Computer Science & Information Security major at John Jay College with a minor in Cybercrime and a 3.8 GPA. My focus is cybersecurity and digital forensics — understanding how systems work, how they're defended, and how they break. I've also always had a creative side: graphic design, the Adobe suite, and design work.

Creativity and tech were never separate tracks for me — I've always done both.

Outside of class I'm hands-on with tech — IT support, building PCs, and troubleshooting — and I run a resale business where I handle sourcing, customer service, and day-to-day operations.

On the work side, I handle customer support for e-commerce brands like Ditch LA and Uvsailles, where I own email support end to end — resolving order, shipping, and account issues on my own. At YouvMerch I do sales and client outreach for a merch company, including helping artists put on shows. I'm also the full-time caretaker for a family member. Juggling all of that has made me independent, organized, and steady under pressure.

I'm looking for opportunities in cybersecurity and information technology where I can keep building on this and grow.

What I'm Into

01

Music & Concerts

Live shows are my reset button — the volume, the crowd, the moment a drop hits. I chase that energy whenever I can.

02

Video Games

Worlds worth getting lost in. Equal parts escapism and admiration for the systems and art that hold them together.

03

Cybersecurity

The thing that pulls me hardest — how systems are defended and how they fall. The offense-and-defense dance never gets old.

04

Hacks & Viruses

Genuinely fascinated by how malware works and how intrusions actually happen. I'd rather understand the threat than fear it.

05

Computers & Hardware

Building, tinkering, troubleshooting. There's something satisfying about a machine you put together yourself running clean.

06

Fashion & Clothing

Self-expression you can wear. It ties straight into the resale work — finding the piece nobody else spotted.
