What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my data management skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for growth and professional development.

As a dedicated database administrator and data capturer, I have honed my skills in managing and optimizing database systems throughout my career. My experience includes working as a Graduate Assistant at Eastern Illinois University, where I updated the Office of Study Abroad website and managed back-end security for applications. I thrive in collaborative environments, ensuring database security and performance while providing technical support to users.

Prior to my role at EIU, I worked with the Medical Research Council in South Africa, where I captured and consolidated data for maternity patients, ensuring data accuracy and system reliability. My educational background, including a Master's degree in Computer Technology, complements my practical experience, allowing me to stay current with emerging database technologies and trends. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to enhance operational efficiency and support decision-making processes.
