My life is proof that persistance and hard-work can overcome any adversity. I graduated from SUNY StonyBrook univeristy with a degree in Biology, only to join the United States Air Force as a cryptologic Linguist. Despite setbacks difficult times, I have followed my passion for innovation helping to found support groups, design multi-million dollar projects, and transform from a reclusive youth into a hard-working, communicative and confident leader, follower, and innovator. I've learned that nothing is impossible, and that it's vital to build good relationships with your teammates because we never get anywhere alone.
