I'm a wayward soul navigating the challenges of being a black trans woman in Trump's America (if you were wondering it fucking sucks). I've always been interested in technology ever since I was 13 and started watching Linus Tech Tips after getting my own laptop for my birthday. Now, I'm working towards a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity engineering and political science. My love of polisci coming from competing in the PF debate through the NSDA throughout high school.

I have ADHD, depression and anxiety, and am really just out here doing my own thing; trying to make life interesting. My interests are incredibly broad, and my special interests bounce around from month to month. But they pretty much stay within the realm of tech and politics. Currently I'm a undergrad polisci researcher at the university I attend. Where I do a lot with ML and data analysis.
