What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a job where I can grow and learn within a company—using my reliability, communication skills, and hands-on experience to contribute every day while building new technical strengths.

I’m pursuing a Bachelor’s in Information Technology, and I’m motivated to find work where I can grow and learn within a company. Alongside my IT education, I’ve built a strong track record in roles that require clear communication, reliable execution, and staying calm while serving people.

Through experience as an assistant tennis coach, TopGolf guest services team member, cashier/stocker, and WaterWorld park services team member, I’ve handled scheduling and coordination, customer-facing problem-solving, and day-to-day operational tasks. I also run my own eBay store—sourcing items, taking professional photos, cleaning and fixing products, and packing/shipping orders—so I’m comfortable with self-directed work and consistent follow-through.
