My path into technology has been anything but traditional. I began my college career at Texas A&M University studying engineering, but like many young professionals, I found myself uncertain about my direction and long-term goals. Through a period of exploration and self-discovery, I gained valuable life and professional experience while searching for a career that aligned with both my interests and strengths. Along the way, I discovered a passion for technology and building meaningful relationships with people. That realization inspired me to pursue multiple technical certifications and ultimately earn a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Western Governors University (WGU).

Prior to joining IBM, I built experience across a variety of customer-facing and leadership roles, including fundraising and retail operations management. These positions allowed me to develop strong communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills while managing teams, driving performance, and engaging directly with customers and stakeholders. Today, I am at IBM, where I am continuing to grow as a technology professional and technical seller. As I develop my expertise in technology, sales, and business strategy, I remain committed to continuous learning and personal growth. I am always interested in connecting with professionals, mentors, and leaders who are passionate about technology, innovation, and helping others succeed.
