With six years of experience as a 911 and general transport paramedic-primarily in high-volume systems across Aiken, Columbia, and Richmond County—I’ve spent most of my career serving on the front lines of emergency medicine. Most of my time has been spent, five years, in Richmond County. My caree began durring the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through it all, computer science has remained a steady personal passion, dating back to high school and college where I built custom PCs and tinkered with software as a hobby. As life evolved and the demands of chaotic shift work grew heavier, I began shifting my focus toward the structured problem-solving and creative challenges of the IT world. Now, I’m leveraging the resilience, critical thinking, and triage instincts I developed in EMS to thrive in programming—where the stakes may be different, but the need for precision, teamwork, and adaptability remains just as vital.
