Summary
With over 10 years of professional experience, my primary responsibility has been to make recommendations based on evaluating and assessing customer needs.
In 2020, I obtained a Bachelor's degree concentrated in Human Resources, where I fine-tuned my communication and management skills. With this knowledge, I am confident in my ability to offer top solutions while contributing to my organization's profitability. In 2024 I obtained my SHRM CP.
In the Spring of 2024, I obtained my MBA from the University of Central Florida. Throughout this program, I've practiced resilience, collaboration, and project management.
In my current role, I manage high-value OCIP/CCIP programs, where I ensure timely, accurate resolution on behalf of my clients.
I am a proud member of the National Black MBA Association, where I serve as a mentor to high school students (Future Leaders of Tomorrow), and NAAIA where I assist with Emerging Leader initiatives.
