I attended the University of Cincinnati, where I studied general IT and Cloud Security for a year before I took a break from school. My interest in computer networking and security started in high school engineering classes where I programmed robots using code to make them do simple tasks. Since that time, using computers and technology to solve problems both in and out of the workplace has become my passion. I can communicate with computers and people alike, which is a special skill specific to people in the IT field. Currently, I am working to obtain my associate degree as well as certifications through Microsoft for Azure and Office 365. Outside of work, I enjoy going out with friends, golfing, and attending or watching sporting events.
