What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to empower individuals while utilizing my IT skills in a supportive environment.

I am a motivated and reliable professional with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and maintaining technology systems in a human services environment. My career has been marked by a commitment to improving operational and IT processes, ensuring smooth program operations, and empowering others to achieve their highest level of independence.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including IT Specialist and AmeriCorps Member, where I facilitated life skills groups and provided critical IT support. My experience includes diagnosing technical issues, training staff on assistive technology, and developing internal documentation to enhance team knowledge. I pride myself on my collaborative problem-solving skills and my ability to foster community engagement.

As I continue to grow professionally, I am eager to leverage my skills in a role that allows me to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others while further developing my expertise in IT and community support.
