Work history

here’s the scoop:

Born and raised in Las Vegas (near Boulder and Nellis), I left home to pursue a degree at the University of Nevada, Reno. I graduated in December 2021 with a dual major in Information Systems and Accounting and secured a job at the best linear lighting company on both sides of the Mississippi.
