Today, June 2, 2025, I’m walking through the doors of Renovo Financial for my first day as an IT Support Administrator I. After stepping away last year to help my dad beat cancer (he’s now in remission 🙌🏽) and taking time to find the right next step, I’m beyond grateful to join a company that values both innovation and people. This milestone wasn’t reached alone. Thank you to everyone who shared leads, reviewed resumes, cheered me on, or simply asked, “How’s the search going?” Your support kept me focused and motivated.
