About

I am an IT professional with a strong interest in IT Project Management, backed by a Bachelor’s in IT Management and a Master’s in Management Information Systems (in progress). My experience spans technical support, customer service systems, and IT operations, where I’ve gained hands-on experience coordinating tickets, documenting technical requirements, and supporting cross-functional teams. I’ve worked extensively with Jira, Salesforce, Confluence, Active Directory, and ITSM tools, giving me a strong foundation in Agile workflows, stakeholder communication, and process improvement. I enjoy solving problems, improving system efficiency, and helping teams deliver reliable technology solutions. My goal is to grow into an IT Project Manager role where I can combine my technical background with leadership, planning, and communication skills to support impactful IT initiatives.
