A bit about me...

I'm an aspiring front-end developer and a 4th year New Media Interactive Development (NMID) major at Rochester Institute of Technology. I've always enjoyed art, design, and programming, so I chose to become an NMID major to be able to combine these passions into a career that I would love.

I am interested in all facets of programming and design, but I especially enjoy front-end, web, and interactive design and all of the visual creativity involved in it. I love the idea of creating something that other people will get to see and enjoy, with a very smooth and pleasant user experience.

No matter what position I'm working in, I always strive to be a positive personality and encourage collaboration in my work environment.
