About Me

• Culmulative 4.0 GPA (Summa Cum Laude)
• President's and Dean's List (Fall 2022 - Spring 2026)

This group works to improve the online learning experience for students at SEMO. Under the guidance of a SEMO online advisor, I helped plan meeting agendas, arranged digital communications, and managed delegated tasks during meetings.

• Organized and presented discussion topics for monthly meetings of 20+ members via Zoom, acting as the formal liaison between the student body and university faculty.
• Implemented digital feedback forums that increased student-faculty engagement and resulted in 2 formal policy proposals to departmental managers.

In my classes at SEMO, I served in over seven leadership roles within student groups. Despite varying topics of study, my duties in these roles typically included:

• Working with four to seven students to assign tasks based on the skillset of each individual in the student group.
• Monitoring deadlines to confirm that adequate progress was being made.
• Completing any unfinished work that was required for completion in order to meet the deadline.
• Reviewing and confirming the quality of work before submission.
• Submitting the work by the deadline, confirming all group members had met the requirements of the assignments.

When not studying or building my technology career, I am typically working on my family's farm/apiary. Some of my duties include, but are not limited to:

• Oversee end-to-end operations for an apiary of 10+ hives, including biological health, monitoring, honey production, record management, inventory tracking, and financial bookkeeping.
• Maintain and repair farm equipment while utilizing modern technology to troubleshoot issues and procure supplies.
• Monitor environmental variables, maintain accurate records, and analyze trends to mitigate operational risks and improve product quality and livestock wellbeing.
