Business problems,
systems answers.
Information Systems at Central Michigan University, undergraduate and graduate coursework at the same time, now from California.
About me
I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Information Systems at Central Michigan University. I earned my Associate of Arts degree first, and I've kept building on that foundation ever since, business, technology, and data-driven problem solving.
As part of CMU's accelerated master's program, I'm completing graduate-level coursework while I finish my bachelor's. It's a rare setup: the same semesters move me toward a Master of Science in Information Systems, deepening what I know about information technology, systems analysis, and business solutions.
What keeps me here is the work itself. I'm drawn to using technology to untangle complicated business problems, make organizations run better, and push toward something more useful than what came before. Every course adds another layer, technical, analytical, and leadership, for a career right where business and information systems meet.
Current record
The degree is still very much CMU. The zip code isn't. Here's the state of things, in the format I happen to think in.
One student · two degrees · 2,300 miles
Moving to California was the best kind of disruption. The pace here is different, startups on one block, studios on the next, and an appetite for building things that didn't exist last quarter. It's a good place to be studying how technology and business fit together, because you can watch it happen in real time.
Practically speaking: I'm on Pacific time, close to some of the most interesting technology work in the country, and happy to be in the room when there's a room to be in. The weather doesn't hurt either. There's something to be said for a February that lets you take your laptop outside.
What I focus on
Information systems is the translation layer between what a business needs and what technology can actually do. These are the parts of it I keep coming back to.
Mapping how work actually flows through an organization, then designing the system that supports it instead of fighting it.
Structuring information so it stays accurate, queryable, and useful long after the person who built it has moved on.
Turning raw operational data into something a decision-maker can act on in a meeting, not a month later.
Finding the friction in a workflow, cutting it, and keeping a project honest about scope, timeline, and who owns what.

FAQ
Yes. I'm looking for internship and co-op work in information systems, business analysis, or data, summer or during the academic year, remote or on site.
It lets qualified CMU students take graduate courses while still finishing their undergraduate degree. Those credits count toward both, so I'm progressing through the bachelor's and the master's on overlapping timelines rather than back to back.
Coursework travels well. I'm based in California on Pacific time and coordinate around it, which has never been the hard part of a semester.
Anything where a business problem needs a systems answer: requirements gathering, process improvement, reporting and analytics, or helping a team get more out of the tools it already pays for.
I'm happily settled in California, but for the right team I'm open to the conversation, and I travel without complaint.
