About

Returned to school in the fall of 2024 to pursue a bachelors in Computer Science. Decided I wanted to get the basics out of the way at Community College, that is where I discovered that there was an even better alternative in a Bachelors in Artificial Intelligence.
Since then, I have been stacking up and knocking down classes with A's, just A's. I am going to graduate from El Paso Community College with an Associates in Computer Science in Fall of 2025, and then enroll for the Bachelors in Artificial Intelligence in Spring of 2026. I plan to maintain the same momentum that I have right now and continue to garner stellar grades and show exemplary performance in my bachelors and beyond.
