As a lifelong Washington, DC resident, my passion for technology has guided my professional journey. While my career began in diverse fields such as hospitality, construction, and retail, I discovered my true calling in IT. These experiences honed my work ethic, adaptability, and problem-solving skills while fostering leadership abilities that I now apply in my technology-focused roles.My fascination with IT started with building my first custom PC—a project that taught me hardware assembly, component compatibility, and troubleshooting. It ignited my curiosity and inspired me to help others, offering technical support to family and neighbors. This passion led me to pursue formal IT training, earning multiple certifications, including CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+, as well as Microsoft 365 Fundamentals. These credentials, along with my Associate of Science in Information Technologies from SNHU (November 2024), have equipped me with a strong foundation in IT support, network management, cybersecurity, and cloud computing.Professionally, I’ve served as a Help Desk Analyst at Allied Mission Group, resolving over 50+ tickets weekly and supporting a user base of 1,200+ employees across Windows and Mac systems. I’ve also contributed as an IT Technician at WE-Strategies, specializing in hardware troubleshooting and mobile device management using JAMF Pro. These roles have strengthened my expertise in ServiceNow, Active Directory, remote desktop support, and technical issue resolution.As I continue to grow in the IT field, I am driven by a commitment to learning and a desire to make a tangible impact. Whether in IT support, network administration, or emerging technologies like cloud computing and AI, I am eager to leverage my skills to empower businesses and enhance user experiences. Collaboration, problem-solving, and innovation remain at the heart of my approach as I navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology.Feel free to connect—I’d love to discuss all things tech, share insights, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
