About
With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Business Administration from the State University of New York at Oswego, I have developed a diverse professional background. Currently, I serve as an IT Specialist 2 at the NYS Office of Information Technology Services, where I manage IT systems and ensure their security. Previously, I was a Business Analyst at the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, contributing to innovative project development. I co-founded ADK Premier Painting, growing it to a team of three full-time employees, and managed operations including estimates, scheduling, and payroll. My early career included roles as a Group Leader at SUNY Oswego's dining services and a Marketing Intern at black dog DESIGNS LLC, where I honed skills in SEO and digital marketing. My experience spans IT management, business analysis, operations, and marketing, reflecting a strong foundation in both technical and business domains.
