What I'm looking for

I'm seeking IT support or content operations work where I can apply my methodical approach to documentation, data management, accurate recordkeeping, and structured technical upskilling.

I've supported museum collection research, cataloguing, and visitor engagement at SMA African Art Museum, Hudson River Museum, and Newark Museum of Art.

At SMA African Art Museum, I researched, planned, and catalogued Sub-Saharan African artifacts, documenting their cultural, historical, and artistic significance while maintaining collection data for preservation.

I'm also experienced in office recordkeeping, content writing, data entry, and survey collection, and I'm pursuing technical training for IT support and content operations roles.
