Volunteer Work

  • Dec. 2019 - Jan. 2020

    All Hands and Hearts

    In December of 2019 a few cousins and I decided it would be a great opportunity to help our people after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. We chose an amazing company called All Hands and Hearts. They gather volunteers from all over the world to help those in need. Hurricane Maira devastated the island for years, leaving many without power, water or proper shelter. Many homes received water damage both inside and out resulting in leaking roofs, crumbling walls and black mold throughout the premises. The main tasks that we handled included removing and replacing the roofing sealant, disinfect the premises of black mold and repair walls and floors.

Education

  • 2017 - 2021

    Computer and Informattics

    In 2017, I entered Rowan University eager to learn all I could about programming. To me, programming is like a jigsaw puzzle: you start with an overall picture of what you want, then you dive in and peace together all the different parts that you need to ultimately create that final picture that you had envisioned. In 2021, I graduated with honors (Magna Cum Laude) with a degree in Computer and Informatics with a concentration in Cyber Security and a concentration in Management of Information Security.
