I've been a contributor to the Fedora Project since September 2015 and work in various places of the community. I'm currently an undergraduate student at [https://www.rit.edu/ Rochester Institute of Technology], majoring in [http://nsa.rit.edu/ Networking and Systems Administration] and minoring in [http://foss.rit.edu Free and Open Source Software]. I began using Linux (and Fedora) in December 2013 – Fedora 20 was my first Linux distribution. I am passionate about free and open source software, which is why I love one of Fedora's four foundations: ''Freedom''.
I am a Fedora Project contributor since September 2015. I participate in various parts of the Fedora Community.
