With a Bachelor of Science in Information Communication Technology and nearing the completion of my Master's in the same field, I have built a career rooted in both technical expertise and leadership. My journey began in diverse industries, including the oilfield and law enforcement, and I also proudly served four years of active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps. These experiences shaped my resilience, adaptability, and commitment to excellence.Currently, I serve as the IT Systems Manager for a local school district, where I oversee three teams—systems, security, and networking. My responsibilities include leading large-scale projects, such as the complete rewiring of a 12-building high school campus, and improving district security by implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA). I also manage the day-to-day operations that support 7,500 students and 1,200 staff members, ensuring that our IT infrastructure runs smoothly and securely.Key strengths I bring to the table include:• Cybersecurity Implementation: Strengthening security measures and auditing systems to maintain a secure IT environment.• Project Management: Leading complex IT projects, from planning to execution, while ensuring deadlines and goals are met.• Team Leadership: I believe in creating leaders at every level. By identifying the strengths and areas for growth in my team members, I help them reach their full potential, encouraging both career development and higher education.• Interpersonal Communication: Building strong relationships with colleagues, third-party engineers, and representatives is key to my approach, as I strive to foster collaboration and a positive work environment.Driven by my passion for technology and leadership, I continuously work to grow both myself and the teams I lead. I'm always seeking ways to improve systems, strengthen security, and inspire others to achieve more.
