I’ve always had an interest in computers and video games, but my passion for technology really took off during an AP Computer Science course in high school, where I was introduced to cybersecurity and networking. Before joining CITIG, I worked at a local computer repair shop, gaining hands-on experience troubleshooting a wide variety of technology issues. I first discovered CITIG through the company website, and the team culture immediately stood out to me. Seeing the company outings and activities made it clear this was a place people genuinely enjoyed working together. Although I was encouraged to reach out closer to graduation, I followed up a few months later. That persistence paid off when I was offered an internship, where I’ve continued to develop my skills in networking, cybersecurity, IT management, and client services. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me playing indoor or beach volleyball, exploring local hiking trails, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, gaming, or spending time with my girlfriend and our dog.
