I have built a strong foundation in software development through my studies. Pertinent course work includes Java, Python, Data Structures, Networking, and Operating Systems. I have acquired valuable skills along the way and I am eager to apply this knowledge in a practical setting and take on new challenges.

Professional Experience

Programmer Analyst Intern

DOT National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration

June 2024 - October 2024

  • Optimized processes using SharePoint to automated workflows that improved team collaboration, task tracking, and data accessibility, reducing manual workload.

  • Reduced repetitive tasks by integrating Excel with SQL, developing queries to enhance data processing speed, efficiency, and accuracy related to vehicle defect detection.

  • Developed automated document libraries using Power Automate to trigger responses, route files through approval stages, and enhance document tracking, minimizing manual intervention.

My current role as a Respiratory Therapist in the Neonatal ICU has given me valuable transferable skills.

Through my work, I’ve learned to think on my feet and stay calm when it counts. I know how to prioritize what truly matters, and working with different teams has made me a strong communicator especially in high-stakes situations.

Shifting from healthcare to tech, I bring a fresh perspective and a problem-solving mindset. I'm used to thinking critically, adapting quickly while working with others to make real-time decisions—skills that translate seamlessly into software engineering.
