About Me

I was born in Norfolk, VA, and currently reside in Suffolk, VA. I love traveling, often taking trips alone or with my cat, Cornelius. One of my life goals is to become a polyglot. I have self-taught myself Dutch, German, and Swedish and have taken Chinese classes at ODU. Alongside my passion for languages, I also enjoy art and development.

My interest in Computer Science began at a young age. Growing up, I spent time with my uncle, who was always building computers. He would let me help him with his projects, sparking my curiosity and ultimately influencing my decision to shift my career path from Culinary Arts to Computer Science.
