Personal Profile

As an undergraduate student of History, I studied both change and innovation. I also learned the importance of adaptability to these changes. Since graduating from the University of Prince Edward, I have come to realize that the most innovative and dynamic field in today's job market is the IT industry. This is the industry in which I want to build my career.

I recently completed the BISD (Business Information Systems Development) program at Holland College and am seeking an entry-level position as a Programmer/Analyst in an Information Technology orientated company. Willing to relocate globally.
