About
I am driven professional with exceptional interpersonal skills and a servant leader mentality who has many years of experience in customer-facing roles. Currently pursuing a career change from Commercial Banking to the Information Technology sector, with a particular interest in Cybersecurity. I have always had a strong passion for IT, and technology in general, and have been actively working towards transitioning into IT full time since 2022. I feel I have constructively used this period of professional development to build the foundational skills required to enter the IT industry, and I am now pursuing a B.S. degree in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance to further expand on that foundation. The next step for me is to begin pursuing entry level Cybersecurity, Networking, and IT-related roles as I continue to work through the aforementioned online degree program, so please feel free to reach out should you or your company be open to discuss current opportunities that may be available.
I am excited for the journey ahead and look forward to making new connections within the industry!
