While at Iowa State, I have been heavily involved on campus and the community.
I spent four years in the ISUCF’V’MB (Iowa State Cyclone Football ‘Varsity’ Marching Band). For three of those years I played snare drum, and for my final year I was selected to be one of the three drum majors. Through the band I have been able to travel to places like Memphis, Tennessee for the Liberty Bowl in 2012, and Normandy France to represent the United States in the 2016 D-Day commemorative ceremonies.
Leadership Experience

I have participated most the “Hack ISU” hackathons hosted by Cy-Make at Iowa State since their inception. Participation in hackathons has helped me hone my software development skills.
