What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead IT and business transformation initiatives where I can improve workflows, implement enterprise technology, evaluate vendors, and deliver measurable operational value.

At New Horizon Academy, I manage enterprise application initiatives, coordinating stakeholders and technical delivery across the organization. I’ve led 15 initiatives and designed wireframes for internal applications that turn business requirements into usable development concepts.

I established Enrollment Support processes and led implementation of enrollment applications, AI phone agents, chatbots, and intelligent call routing. My vendor evaluations, RFP decisions, and software optimization work generated $40K in savings, while a Dell partnership projected $500,000 in five-year savings.

I bring hands-on experience in IT operations, SharePoint modernization, network security, database management, and end-user support. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Information Systems from Grand Valley State University, with a concentration in database management.
