My journey into IT began in 2020, during the pandemic. Supporting doctors and nurses in setting up their work-from-home environments gave me a profound sense of purpose and ignited my passion for technology. Coding my first "Hello World" in a bootcamp was a pivotal moment for me—I was instantly captivated. With a lifelong love for languages, transitioning to a Natural Language Processing Engineer felt like a natural fit.I dream of joining an innovative company that is at the forefront of data advancements. Instead of pursuing a second bachelor's degree in computer science, I chose to advance my education in a different way. I am now a prospective Computer Science graduate student at George Mason University, where I am energized by both the challenges of the field and the opportunity to grow personally and professionally.
