At the time of writing this page, I’m 25 years old and currently work as an Endpoint Manager for a branch of my state’s local government. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity and have been working in IT since I was 19.

My career began as an IT Student Worker at my community college, where I focused on on-site break‑fix support. After graduating, I transitioned into a full‑time Helpdesk/Field Technician role at a for‑profit university. That position gave me valuable hands‑on experience with server management, device management software, network troubleshooting, and more. Looking back, I often found myself tackling responsibilities that were well beyond my initial skill set—but those challenges pushed me to grow quickly.

Eventually, I became frustrated with the workload compared to the pay and, somewhat naively, accepted a position at Amazon because the salary looked appealing. It didn’t take long to realize the role wasn’t a good fit, but I stuck it out for over a year. The site I worked at was still under construction, which gave me a unique opportunity to help build and manage IDFs, MDFs, Linux thin clients, and other infrastructure. I worked alongside some incredibly talented networking and Linux administrators, and most of my networking knowledge comes from that time. I also completed my Bachelor’s degree while working there. Still, the long hours and demanding environment took a toll on my mental health, and I knew I needed a change.

After months of applying elsewhere, I was fortunate to land a role on a small Endpoint Management team within my state’s local government. Today, my three colleagues and I manage roughly 8,000 endpoints across the state. We rely on tools such as SCCM/MECM, GPO, AD, AAD/Entra, Windows Defender, Intune, and Azure. While I don’t consider myself an “expert,” I’m confident and comfortable with these platforms, and I’m always learning—researching, testing, and expanding my knowledge across as many areas as I can. I like to think of myself as a jack‑of‑all‑trades in IT.

Outside of work, I’m a gamer, disc golfer, pickleball player, biker, hiker, and generally a friendly soul. I look forward to sharing what I’ve learned and the successes I’ve had in my role with others who might benefit from my experiences.
