10/24/2023): After a brief absence this site is up and running again. Since my second chance down the college route falling through I found myself discouraged and let down.

I have a lot of skill, knowledge and talent and I won't be stopped by this endeavor; and thus, I will rise above and get my future that I want. The first thing I will accomplish is becoming certified in ACA (Adobe Certified Associate) that will prove my ability to help others in need of my service. Secondly, I will offer help in customers in need and finally get an internship that will be my portfolio to more of a use.
7/13/23- I am currently on my third term at SNHU and so far things are going good. I have Ased all my courses so far and looking to keep it that way. I will soon update my portfolio to showcase my work I've completed during my few terms completed. Be on the watch, soon...
