About me

Two degrees, one timeline.

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

Michigan schooling. California life.

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.

Trading lake-effect snow for palm trees.

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

Where business and systems overlap.

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.

Analysis

Systems analysis & design

Mapping how work actually flows through an organization, then designing the system that supports it instead of fighting it.

Data

Databases & data modeling

Structuring information so it stays accurate, queryable, and useful long after the person who built it has moved on.

Business first, tools second How I approach a problem
Insight

Business analytics

Turning raw operational data into something a decision-maker can act on in a meeting, not a month later.

Delivery

Process & project work

Finding the friction in a workflow, cutting it, and keeping a project honest about scope, timeline, and who owns what.

FAQ

Questions people ask.

Ask something else
Are you available for internships?

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.

What is the accelerated master's program?

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.

You're in California but the school is in Michigan. How does that work?

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.

What kind of work are you most interested in?

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.

Would you relocate?

I'm happily settled in California, but for the right team I'm open to the conversation, and I travel without complaint.
