I want to help people help people.
Professionally, I get to do this by expanding companies' technological capabilities to the benefit of their customers. I didn't know that this was what I wanted to do until I got to work on implementing a new serialization system during my co-op at Johnson & Johnson. It was an opportunity to see how technology could allow us to verify the legitimacy of pharmaceutical products to ensure that they were safe for our customers.
I witnessed this again during my internship at EY as we implemented systems to expand access to high-demand personal hygiene products during the pandemic. Technology does more than just improve the bottom line; it improves the products and services given to those who need them.
When I'm not working, I'm usually volunteering with my church or the Boy Scouts, or working with the NJIT Student Senate. All of these organizations have connected me to communities of people who prioritize others before themselves and given me opportunities to do the same.
I'm always open to talk about roles in technology consulting, share book recommendations, or grab a cup of coffee.
