Bio

My journey into tech began with a simple code that lit a spark and turned into a full-blown passion. Now, I’m pursuing a Diploma in Computer Science at Bow Valley College, set to graduate in April 2025. Along the way, I’ve spent countless hours honing my skills in software development, loving every moment when complex problems unravel into solutions.

After my diploma, the story continues as I head to the University of Lethbridge for a Computer Science degree. Beyond coursework, I ventured into the NPower Canada Junior IT Analyst Program, gaining hands-on experience in hardware setup, cloud computing, and customer support, deepening my understanding of the tech landscape.

What drives me is the thrill of bringing ideas to life and collaborating on projects that make a difference. From coding marathons to brainstorming with like-minded peers, every step fuels my dedication to grow and learn more.
