I am a hard-working, determined person. I like working in a fast-paced environment in an efficient manner. I am a fast learner and quite adaptive. I am also a very hands-on person. I built my first computer when I was in 7th grade and continued to use it until my senior high school year. I have done maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting on this computer. I set my goal of being a computer engineer when I was an 8th grader. My passion for computer engineering is related to my strength, my creativity, and my curiosity about science and technology.
