All my life I've been a hardworking individual trying to find someway to get ahead, always working for what I want in life. I knew I wanted to go to college so I put in the work to achieve a 4.0 GPA in high school and graduate in the top 10% of my class while working 25 hours a week at a grocery store to earn what money I could to put towards tuition. Once I made it to college, I knew I wanted to study Computer Science based off the one Web Development class I took in high school. Beyond a little HTML and CSS, I knew next to nothing about software development, yet that did not stop me. I spent my college career taking the extra notes and doing the extra assignments to go above and beyond so I could learn the most I possibly could. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the University of North Texas because I am a hard worker who loves learning new things. I never let life's road blocks stand in the way of what I want to achieve, and I use this motivation and determination to be the best Software Engineer and Talent Developer I can be.
