Bio
I am currently seeking a long-term role to finalize my enrollment into a competitive Veteran IT Program in Network Engineering. The program requires full time employment in an IT position. The optimal position will provide the maximum amount of growth potential in an organization that recognizes the value of a strong work ethic, superior organizational skills, team and conflict management abilities and excellent time management strategies. I am an approachable leader that is not afraid to roll up my sleeves and welcome an environment with strong mentors who regularly challenge me to take on responsibilities outside of my comfort zone.
