STEM Career
In my senior year of high school I took a Networking fundamentals class that introduced me to the world of IT. After high school I found myself looking for a job and decided to use my new skills at Geek Squad. Later I enrolled in Red Rocks Community College for school and was even given a position in their IT department starting at the helpdesk. There I learned about enterprise level administration and IT leadership (following the ITIL framework). Working at the school and towards my Assocaites degree was a really fun mix of skills. During COVID I took a semester off of school and work at TrinWare to learn more about enterprise level administration and engineering. I went back to RRCC to finish my Associates degree and again found myself working back in the IT deparment with a focus on major projects. This is when I began delving a lot more into programming, project managment, containerization, data science, and machine learning. When I completed my degree I found a fulltime job at the Community College of Aurora as a systems administrator while I started the Bachelors program at CU Denver. After a year I realized I wanted to be done with my degree so I left CCA and committed to school fulltime. The past year finishing my degree I worked part-time for my research advisor, making it my first official research role! Now that I have finished my degree I am enjoying my summer, which of course includes revitalizing my homelab server.
