Hello there! You have landed on the section where you get to learn more about who I am. My name is Georgio Vandarakis, and I am a sophomore at the University of Nevada, Reno studying Information Systems. I’m attending college here because of the strong College of Business and Information Systems departments and to expand my horizons by living in a new place and experiencing the true college life. I am interested in taking my education here at UNR and applying that to an Information Technology or Cybersecurity career. In my free time, I love to explore new places, work on electronics, learn more about cars, see family now and again, and hang out with my little pet parakeet named Orion! I also am into video games here and there, especially older titles and systems.
I also have volunteered quite a lot and have recently got a job that helps me socialize and gain work experience. These include:
- Volunteering for a food bank specializing in harvesting fruit for a few years
- Three theatre performances that I also volunteered for as a sound technician over two years of high school
- Many service projects for Boy Scouts leading up to achieving my Eagle Rank in December 2023
- Starting my most recent job working at a catering company based here in Reno
With this new job, I want to be able to experience an environment where I collaborate with people to achieve a greater goal, help myself prepare for a bigger job later with experience, and make some friends along the way! Thanks for reading!
