Bio
My life goal is to reach the heights of my abilities in order to provide opportunities and inspire people like me to become who they are meant to be. Helping others succeed is our responsibility in life, each and every human being deserves to be happy, healthy, and whole.
I've seen the less pretty parts of life firsthand and I know what a non-nurturing environment fosters. With self-belief, positivity, and accessible education the sky is the limit for us as a society.
I am currently pursuing the A.A.S. CyberSecurity degree at Northern Virginia Community College.
My background includes working in computer and mobile device repair. Over the years I have obtained various skill sets and learned industry practices that I will carry with me through my education and into my career. These experiences have afforded me the confidence to take my skill set to the next level as I help envision and shape a brighter future.
During Covid the Government provided an opportunity to Virginians called the G3 initiative. When I was laid off I was determined to move up from the entry level positions I had worked for many years and to make a lasting change in my life. Though Covid has brought a great deal of pain to the American people, the push to get citizens back to work was a major catalyst for change and growth. Through this program I am changing my life, inspiring my family, and helping those around me to believe in themselves.

Bold Deep Thinking Scholarship
The biggest problem I believe the world is facing is greed. As resources run thing and inflation increases, many people don't see a need to help out others who aren't as fortunate as them. The crabs in a bucket and "us vs them" mentalities need to die out and be replaced with the ideology that if one of us fails, all of us fail. Society has separate rungs of wealth, education, and race. It is important to know the past and learn from it, but many people are driven by the pain of the past in negative ways. I think the solution is for the young, bright students of today to use their voices.
This generation has completed changed the way media works and is seen. TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube are the main sources of news and knowledge for a large portion of the world. The youth account for the majority of content creation and viewing. We as a people and generation need to come together with one voice and advocacy for all groups, especially those that are persecuted and mistreated. Many youth are scared to speak up, but I believe iron sharpens iron and likewise, bold action emboldens others to take action. A 30 second TikTok sermon can go not only touch on social issues and solutions, but has the power to go viral and reach across the entire world.
As a man of 27 years old, I can do my part by setting a good example. Telling the younger generation not to numb themselves with distractions and drugs and showing them just how powerful we are when we stand together.
