About (request update)

I am a freshman college student pursuing a degree in computer science with a strong commitment to academic excellence and professional growth. My passion for technology and problem-solving drives me to not only learn in the classroom but also apply my skills through projects, internships, and networking opportunities. I aim to complete independent tech projects, master additional programming languages, and build a strong professional presence through platforms like LinkedIn and GitHub.

My experiences have shaped both my character and my skills. While working as a server assistant at Dave & Buster’s, I learned the value of teamwork, efficiency, and customer service in a fast-paced environment. As a summer camp counselor with Leto and Friends, I developed leadership and mentorship skills by

Life & Professional Aspirations:

My vision for the future is rooted in academic excellence, professional growth, and personal balance. First and foremost, I plan to maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher, knowing that strong academic performance opens the door to scholarships, internships, and research opportunities. Alongside academics, I aspire to join technology-based student organizations, such as coding clubs or computer science groups, where I can collaborate with peers who share my passion for creating and learning. Early in my college journey, I aim to secure an internship or research role to gain real-world experience, while also completing my first solo tech project or application. By building something meaningful—whether practical or creative—I can showcase both my knowledge and dedication. To strengthen my adaptability, I intend to learn additional programming languages, such as Python or JavaScript, outside of class. At the same time, I will develop consistent study and time-management habits to stay ahead academically. Networking is another priority, so I plan to attend at least two career fairs or tech conferences each year to connect with professionals and explore potential career paths. I will also utilize academic support services, including tutoring and study groups, because I see asking for help as a strategy for success. Professionally, I want to begin shaping my brand through a strong résumé, LinkedIn profile, and GitHub portfolio that demonstrate both my learning and applied skills. Lastly, I will prioritize my mental and physical health, recognizing that true success comes from balance and well-being.
