In late 2019, I was nominated for and awarded one of three Distinguished Student Awards for academic excellence by Scott Rasmussen, the former Dean of the College of Technology at Idaho State University. I am currently working on my Bachelors of Applied Science in Information Technology Systems. My expected graduation date is May 2026. In addition, I plan on earning my CCNA certification before graduation. I am currently working as an ITS LAB Technician at Idaho State University and I am the President of the Information Technology (IT) Club.
