Bachelor of Arts in English from Rutgers University, where I also served as a Student Representative for Apple, supporting training, trade shows, and early Macintosh adoption in higher education. I continued my technical development as an Apple intern and later earned a certificate in Good Clinical Practices from UC Santa Cruz Extension. My foundation in systems and electronics was built during my service as a Sonar Technician in the U.S.

Navy, where I performed component-level repairs on complex electronic systems aboard submarines and surface ships—training that continues to inform my methodical, mission-driven approach to problem solving.
