02 / PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
A foundation in technology.
A focus on security.
I’m studying cybersecurity at Sheridan College, with graduation expected in August 2028, building on a diploma in Computer Engineering. My interests connect digital forensics, defensive security, and the everyday work of keeping systems reliable.
As a Residence Advisor, I support students and help build a welcoming community. My earlier sales and technical support experience taught me to listen, explain things clearly, and stay calm when a problem needs solving.
