Degree: University of North Carolina at Charlotte - Master's/Graduate, Cybersecurity

Outside of academics, I’m someone who thrives on creativity and exploration. I have a deep love for art and enjoy expressing myself through drawing and design. Crochet is another favorite hobby, it’s both meditative and rewarding, and I love creating handmade pieces that blend color and texture. Cooking is one of my happy places, especially when trying out new recipes from different cultures. I also enjoy traveling and discovering new places, it fuels my curiosity, introduces me to new perspectives, and often inspires my creative side. Whether I’m exploring a new city or a quiet hiking trail, I find that every experience adds to the way I connect with others. These interests keep me balanced and bring a lot of warmth and personality into how I teach and relate to students.
