Summary

After my father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in January of 2024, nothing else mattered to me other than spending every second with him and being by my mother's side while he was hospitalized. That was all I could think about doing, hence why I took time away from my position and my field as a whole. My father passed away in May 2024 and I spent the past month and a half giving myself time to grieve while comforting my mother. After some therapy, internal healing, and speaking with my father every night, I am now ready to re-enter the workforce, looking to join a company I can grow with. I am looking to further enhance my professional skills as a driven individual inspired by my father. I am experienced in managing multiple clients under fast-paced environments, ensuring requirements are delivered in a timely manner while going above and beyond of my clients' expectations. Outside of work, I am an avid musician with a passion for playing guitar, singing, songwriting, and performing, as well as a dog dad of two 12 year olds.
