About Me

I am an Information Systems graduate candidate with a dual focus in Finance at the University of Colorado Denver. My passion lies at the intersection of technology and finance, where I leverage my skills in software development, blockchain technology, and data analytics to create innovative solutions.

In 2022, I launched a successful NFT project on the Ethereum blockchain, gaining hands-on experience with Web3 communities, smart contracts, digital assets, and digital marketing. This entrepreneurial venture deepened my understanding of decentralized technologies and their potential to transform traditional industries.

Beyond technology, I serve as a Chess Instructor, teaching elementary and middle school students critical thinking, strategic planning, and problem-solving skills. This role has honed my ability to communicate complex concepts clearly and mentor others toward success.

I am currently seeking opportunities where I can combine my technical background, analytical mindset, and leadership experience in finance, technology, data analytics, or blockchain-related organizations.

What Drives Me

Initiative and Work Ethic

I believe technical skills can be learned, but integrity, accountability, and a strong work ethic are what drive lasting success. Throughout every role I've had, I've taken pride in being dependable, learning quickly, and taking ownership of my responsibilities. Whether I'm solving technical problems, supporting customers, or collaborating with a team, I strive to give my best effort every day.

As I complete my degrees in Information Systems and Finance, I'm looking for an organization that values initiative, continuous learning, and employees who are eager to grow. My goal is to contribute meaningful work, embrace new challenges, and build a long-term career where dedication, curiosity, and performance are recognized and rewarded.
