About Me
I’m a recent Business MIS graduate with a strong foundation in technology and data analytics, and a genuine interest in how things work—from products to processes to people.
I started out focused on data and software roles, which gave me a solid technical base. But along the way, I became more interested in how businesses run, how decisions are made, and how to solve real problems in practical ways.
Right now, I’m working at the Costco bakery, learning as much as I can about how the business operates day-to-day. Long term, I’m hoping to leverage that experience and grow into a role at Costco corporate, where I can combine what I’ve learned on the floor with my background in technology and business.
