Danny
I’m from Los Angeles, CA. My family and I moved to Washington in 2010 to find better jobs and opportunities. After high school, I worked retail but in 2017, I discovered the world of IT/AV. I’ve been passionate and eager to continue my exploration ever since – to gain knowledge and use it to move up to different opportunities. I’m humbled with all the blessings I’ve been given. For that, I am grateful. I speak English and Spanish.
Jesus
I’m Jesus, a first-gen college graduate from the University of Washington. I was born in the Northern Marina Islands, and moved here to WA when I was 10.
I spent most of my time and efforts in college towards bridging the technological gap and inequalities that we face in the mordern digital divide.
Learning about information technology and the endless possibilities on how we can intergrate it in our everyday lives is what drives me to continue working in this field!
I speak Tagalog.
