Education: Fueling Growth Through Lifelong Learning

Veni, vidi, vici, et adhuc plus est

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry from Angelo State University, a foundation that honed my analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Though I only applied my chemistry education directly during an 18-month tenure in an infant efficacy lab, its influence remains, whether in nuanced discussions about water chemistry or the methodologies I bring to tackling challenges.

In the tech field, education is experience. My philosophy is to never stop learning. I continually enroll in courses and programs that expand my knowledge and perspectives—whether it’s diving into “Google Data Analytics” on Coursera, achieving a PMP to prove my project management ability, exploring frameworks for soft skills development, or advancing my understanding of operational theory.

While digital certificates of completion are markers of progress, their real value lies in personal development. For me, each class is a structured opportunity to stay open-minded, informed, and inspired. This mindset drives me to explore new ways to grow, adapt, and find innovative solutions—whether through meditative practices, vagal exercises, or chasing curiosity to uncover overlooked opportunities.

This commitment to lifelong learning has instilled in me the ability to synthesize information effectively and use it to inspire movement, progress, and out-of-the-box thinking. It’s not just about learning for the sake of it—it’s about moving ahead, finding clarity, and motivating others to embrace growth alongside me.
