I am a seasoned IT professional with a proven track record of consistently resolving complex challenges for businesses, clients, and users throughout my career. I have demonstrated my ability to engage with stakeholders at all levels of an organization. Whether it involves addressing technological issues, streamlining processes, or any other matter falling within my purview, I prioritize a deep understanding of my customers' needs to deliver effective solutions.
As a crisis counselor I take texts from people texting to 741741 as well as some other crisis lines that are in the collaborative network. I went through a 12 cohort training involving many skills including; good contact techniques, assessing safety from suicide and self harm, deescalation, safety planning and much more. This is an incredibly positive aspect of my life now, yes it is heartbreaking at times but it is still worth it. The best part is that I'm a volunteer; I'm not doing it for money but rather out of love for others.
One consistent thing throughout my life has been my curiosity. It drives me in almost everything I do. Continued learning has been instrumental in my careers and has fueled my passion for travel and play. I'm that person who's always looking things up simply because I need to know.
I grew up in the southeast suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul with two amazing, loving parents. My mom and dad always worked hard to provide for us. We never went hungry and always had a roof over our heads. Their work ethic continues to inspire me today.
In my spare time, I enjoy working with technology, building websites, playing video games, socializing with friends and family, and traveling to new places.
