I am a motivated individual with ambitious goals. I have been a full-time student and full-time employee for some time, simultaneously driving my career and pursuing my dreams.I began this journey un the U.S. Navy, where I gained foundational skills and knowledge in electronics and electro-mechanical systems. Though my time in the Navy was sweet, it was short. I was separated from the Navy, with and honorable discharge, due to a condition that disqualified me from service. This road block did not stop me from succeeding however: I immediately began freelance work in electronics repair. The following April, my then partner and I moved to San Diego, where I began work as an electrical technician. This was a short-term, temporary position. As my time at Wildcat ended, my partner and I decided it was best for us to go our separate ways and I moved back to my home state, Florida. In this period of my life, I faced extreme adversity, which I was always determined to overcome. In Brooksville, I found myself working at Promation Engineering, where I gained a wealth of experience that built upon my previous skills. After a year at Promation, I realized that this small company could not offer me any more growth and I moved to St. Petersburg to begin employment at GeoSonics. This was an especially wonderful job that I was sad to leave from. I was able to gain new skills in wireless communication devices, coding, and computer science. I left this position to move to Portland, where I could continue my physics education at Portland State University.
