PROFILE
Not only do I bring many technical skills to the table but I also bring a little bit of creativity along with it. I am a 20 year old South Burlington High School graduate. I just finished my Freshman year at Champlain College for Computer Information Systems, this next semester I will be attending part time, so I can work to keep up with the bills of college . I am a native Vermonter born in Randolph, Vermont. In my free time I snowboard in the winter and swim in the summer. I am a hard-worker and coming from a Vermont family I do not take things for granted.
