IT Service Desk Team Lead, IT Support Services, Division of Information Technology

Background: I was born and raised in Miami, Florida. I initially began my studies in aviation pursuing a career as a flight instructor; however, I quickly found computer troubleshooting and repair to be a fun and fulfilling experience. Before the College of Charleston, I was a Geek Squad agent for 5 1/2 years.

Interests: I’ve recently discovered a love for photography and have been spending my spare time learning the different aspects of capturing a moment digitally.
