Serving Great Teams
*These reflect organizations I’ve served through contract, staff, or collaborative roles.





Since earning my degree in Cybersecurity in 2022, I’ve focused on helping schools and small teams solve real-world problems through secure, user-centered software and AI tools. With hands-on experience in IT and cybersecurity, and a Harvard credential in Data Privacy (2024), I bring both depth and thoughtfulness to every project I work on.
In 2024, I began building Vervotex™—a personal initiative to explore how purpose-driven technology could better serve educators, public teams, and community organizations. One of the tools developed under this work, an AI tutoring platform, is being piloted with a small group of schools in Fall 2025. It’s designed to work like WHOOP for the brain—helping students understand and improve how they learn, not just what they know.
Based in Atlanta, GA, I care deeply about meaningful collaboration, long-term impact, and building systems that are as thoughtful as the people they’re designed for.
