What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strong client relationships and offers opportunities for growth in technical support and project management.

With a decade of experience in leadership and operations, I am a results-driven professional dedicated to fostering strong client relationships and leading teams to success. My proactive approach and excellent interpersonal communication skills have enabled me to consistently exceed objectives. I have a proven track record in customer service, project management, and digital presence development, which I am eager to leverage in a Service Desk Analyst role.

Throughout my career, I have held various positions that have honed my skills in technical support and systems management. As the President of Business Development at Bright and Clear Inc., I established and maintained effective relationships with clients and industry partners, driving growth through strategic communication and innovative marketing campaigns. My experience as a Senior Pastor and Youth Pastor has further developed my ability to analyze community needs and collaborate with teams to achieve shared goals.
