For the last 10 years I’ve lived and performed around the US and the world as a professional musician. For 7 of those years I’ve performed as an Army Soldier, connecting the Army to the American community and growing the United States' relationships with our NATO allies through music. As an Army musician I not only had the chance to perform, but I also developed skills as varied as video production, HR Administration, and team management. Through all that I’ve learned how to be adaptable, customer-service minded, and function as a self-motivated member of a team. Now I’ve decided to capitalize on my love for diving deep into technical subjects as well as my passion for problem solving by pursing a career in IT. To that end I am currently a student at the Microsoft Software and Systems Academy where I am capitalizing on my professional and teamwork skills to grow my abilities in Windows Server and Azure Cloud Administration. I know my commitment to lifelong learning and solutions-oriented mindset will be an asset to any team I'm on.
