Skills:




Ambitious

I like to be committed to the projects and teams that I work with, and I like to go above and beyond to complete my work. I always look for ways I can master a subject while learning about other things as well. I love to be active joining programs and networking with others. I grow at least 1% every day to my goals.

Learner

I am a life-long learner. I always ask myself what is something that I haven't completed yet? That is something I want to exlore and try. With every critic I recieve, I look at it as a way I can improve myself. As tech progresses, there is always room for growth.

Disciplined

I always get my work done. Perosnally, I wake up at 4:30am to get my perosnal work and projects done. Discipline is doing work sometimes you don't want to do in order to reach your goal. I always put in my all because I never want to look back and say I could have done better.

Creative

Every semester, I slap a bunch of sticky-notes on my wall coming up with new project ideas I want to build. Some of them are easy that I can complete, and some are ideas I want to accomplish as a life-long career goal. Generating ideas is easy, because when I have one idea, I have another. I've completed 3 sticky notes last semester!
