I am a current records specialist who plans to use my software (CompTIA A+) and data management experience to cross into the technology field.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Records Management Specialist with experience maintaining, compiling, and processing student educational records. I focus on accuracy, organization, and clear communication of procedures.
In my current role at Newport News Public Schools, I use Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook alongside specialized systems for transcript requests, digitally archived records, and current student systems. I also ensure compliance with local, state, and federal requirements, including FERPA guidelines.
Before that, I supervised event staff at Christopher Newport University, directing teams of up to 12 using scheduling software to plan setups for events. I also interned in historic services, where I created a digital exhibit cataloging the life and local significance of J. Thomas Newsome and handled archives and records.
I began building a technical foundation through a Technology Intern role, assisting with troubleshooting and maintenance of devices. With certifications including CompTIA A+, I bring both records discipline and practical tech support skills to every project.
