About

I recently graduated in Information Systems at Brigham Young University. I have a passion for leveraging technology to solve complex problems and deliver impactful solutions. With experience in JavaScript, Python, and AWS cloud technologies, I have developed scalable systems, analyzed multi-year datasets, and created websites for non-profits. As a Business & Technology Consultant, I have delivered solutions spanning IT and cloud support, social media analytics, frontend development, and data-driven process improvements. I have deployed and managed cloud-based applications using AWS services like EC2, S3, and RDS, optimizing infrastructure performance and enhancing scalability.

Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my academic journey as an admitted student in Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College MISM – Business Intelligence & Data Analytics program (Fall 2026), where I will further specialize in data-driven consulting, scalable systems, and applied machine learning.
