Tell us a little about yourself.

"I am from Bossier City. I graduated from Louisiana Tech in 2021 with an English degree and worked for a year and a half as an IT Market Engineer at Louisiana Downs. I enjoy writing, reading, playing video games and Dungeons and Dragons on the weekends."

How did you get started in IT?

"I got started in IT in 2022. I was having no luck in pursuing a path with writing and realized I had gone to school for a hobby and not a career. I always had an interest in technology and applied for an IT position at Louisiana Downs. Despite my lack of experience they took me on."

Why did you choose to work at Velo?

"I chose Velo because I felt myself hitting the limit of what I could learn at my former company, and wanted something that could help me grow and develop my skills in the tech industry, and after doing my research Velo seemed like the right fit."

What do you consider your greatest strength?

"My greatest strength is my tenacity- my desire to scale the cliff even if there is no places to put my hands. "
