I have a proven track record in IT governance, cloud migration, and cybersecurity, ensuring that technology serves as a catalyst for business growth.

At Rock Valley College, I directed a $3.7M IT budget, achieving significant cost savings through strategic vendor negotiations and spearheading a $2.8M network redesign. My leadership of a 22-member IT team resulted in a remarkable 43.5% increase in operational efficiency.
