Bio

I've always loved to take things apart to put them back together again just to see how they work. Not only physical objects but processes and methods too. Once I understand how something works, I start experimenting with ways to improve on it by thinking outside of the box. If I'm not working on fixing or building something, you'll find me with a book, or doing a deep dive on the internet because I'll never get enough of learning from others on pretty much any topic. I think that's probably why some people call me a "Jill of all trades." I bring a diverse set of skills to the table that make me a wild card. I love a challenge and approach any issue I face with sharp attention to detail, thoughtful strategies and logical reasoning. My natural curiosity has me questioning everything, and I'm not afraid to disrupt a conventional process to find the best solution to a problem. Understanding intricacies to make things better is in my wheelhouse, which is why tech is such a great fit for me!
