As an IT specialist, I bring years of knowledge with me to the table. Because I sent myself to computer language school, I know how hardware and software are programmed and how to interact with both. I also bring with me the knowledge of computer security, having been assigned the role of Information Systems Security Officer (ISSO) and Information Assurance Security Officer (IASO), dealing with viruses, inappropriate access to computer networks, and other networking security issues. My 15+ years of hands-on experience is complemented by an associate’s degree and continuing studies in the IT arena. As such, I am confident you will find me well prepared to contribute to your company as a senior-level manager.
Notably, over the course of my career, I:
• Developed and executed a $3.2-million Information Mission Area Modernization Plan, which rotated stock and brought in newer, more advanced equipment.
• Designed software to help track service personnel going to units at Fort Irwin.
• Troubleshot software and hardware problems, resolving issues where possible or quickly turning over the computer for repair in less than 24 hours, saving more than $25,000 annually.

• Planned and installed an inventory and distribution network system, which saved the US Army $2.5 million and continues to be operational.
