Summary

I'm originally from New Jersey now pursuing a career in the Bay, with a solid background in machine operation and multiple years in the audio visual industry. I’m drawn to environments that move fast and demand quick thinking—especially when things don’t go as planned. Troubleshooting under pressure isn’t just part of the job for me; it’s where I do my best work.
