Pursuing my studies through a Master of Science at NYU in Computing, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, I'm on a journey to combine technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship into a powerful force for change. My career has been shaped by a passion for the initial spark, the first steps of projects, and the dynamic world of startups. 

Over the past two years, I've boldly stepped outside my comfort zone to challenge myself in a variety of settings. With my experience in freelance as an independent learner, I've cultivated a unique perspective on the intersection of technology and business, honing my skills as a proactive problem solver, an agile collaborator, and an avid advocate for innovation.
