About me

Background, skills, and how I got here.

I work well in a fast-paced environment. I like to build things that may not always come super easy to me, mainly because I want to be challenged. Additionally, I feel like I'm a quick learner, and I am always looking for feedback to improve through mentorship. I look forward to connecting with any and all individuals!

I graduated in Computer Science from College of Charleston and work at Thrive on platform integrations, especially within ServiceNow. Lately I've been focused on a custom client portal in Next.js. I'd have to say I am most proud of the work I did with the Stripe integration because I really really pushed myself with learning the codebase and working with individuals in finance across the organization.

In my free time I like to build custom sites, explore new tech, read, hike, and hang out with my dog, Archie.
