Hello, and thank you for stopping by. Here, you will find a glimpse into my professional journey, personal interests, and the roles that have shaped my life.
Professional Background
With a background in visual communication and graphic design, I have cultivated a unique blend of creative and technical skills throughout my professional journey. My core strengths lie in graphic design, web design, application support, and IT coordination. This diverse expertise has enabled me to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments, delivering innovative solutions and exceptional support to clients and colleagues.
Diverse Roles in the Finance Industry
Armed with a degree in Visual Communication and a focus on Graphic Design, I unexpectedly found myself navigating the dynamic landscape of finance. I worked as a Web Designer and Graphic Designer for a large investment banking/brokerage firm, where my creative skills were harnessed to maintain websites and ensure a visually engaging corporate presence.
Application Support Specialist and Support Desk Coordinator
My journey continued as I took on roles as an Application Support Specialist and Support Desk Coordinator for the same firm. These experiences not only broadened my technical expertise but also honed my ability to provide efficient solutions in a fast-paced environment.
During my time as an Application Support Specialist, I was responsible for troubleshooting and resolving software and hardware issues, assisting users with system configurations, and conducting software installations and upgrades. I developed a deep understanding of various software applications and became adept at quickly identifying and resolving technical problems.
As a Support Desk Coordinator, I played a crucial role in managing and prioritizing incoming support requests from users across the organization. This involved coordinating with other teams, such as developers and network administrators, to ensure timely and effective resolution of issues. I also developed and maintained support documentation, providing clear instructions for common user problems and promoting self-help resources.
Through these positions, I gained valuable insights into the inner workings of the finance industry, understanding the importance of data security, privacy, and compliance regulations. I collaborated closely with traders, analysts, and other finance professionals, developing strong interpersonal skills and a keen awareness of the industry’s specific needs and challenges.
My diverse professional background in graphic design, application support, and support coordination has equipped me with a unique skill set that combines creativity, technical expertise, and problem-solving abilities. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can utilize my multifaceted skills to deliver innovative solutions and provide outstanding support to clients and colleagues alike.
Family Matters
Caring for Family
Family was always at the core of my life. Until recently I was a proud caretaker for my late mother, providing her with love and support. Her cherished memory continues to inspire me daily.
My Daughters’ Journeys
Moreover, I am deeply involved in the lives of my daughters, who bring immeasurable joy and meaning to my world. My oldest daughter, along with her loving husband, faces the unique challenges presented by cerebral palsy. Their profound strength, resilience, and unwavering determination serve as an endless source of inspiration. Together, we navigate life’s complexities, conquering obstacles and cherishing every triumph along the way.
In addition to my eldest daughter’s family, I am equally filled with immense pride for my 21-year-old daughter as she embarks on her personal journey to discover her path. It is a delight to witness her exploration, growth, and evolution as she forges her own identity, dreams, and aspirations. As her parent, I strive to be a guiding light, providing unconditional support and encouragement as she embraces her true potential.
Grandchildren’s Joy
At home, we find ourselves surrounded by the infectious laughter and boundless energy of my two adorable grandchildren. Their vibrant spirits and insatiable curiosity infuse our household with warmth and joy. They captivate our hearts with their innocence and endless capacity to find wonder in the simplest of things. Watching them grow and evolve is a constant reminder of the beauty and magic that exists in this world.
Hobbies and Passions
The Thrill of the Open Road
Beyond my professional and family responsibilities, I find escape and excitement in the world of motorcycles, particularly sportbikes. I love the combination of power, agility, and precision that showcases the artistry and engineering which go into these two-wheeled wonders and my garage proudly hosts two Ducatis: a Streetfighter 1098 and a Monster 1200R, ready to be unleashed on the winding roads of North Georgia.
Motorcycling has always been more than just a mode of transportation for me; it is a means to transcend the constraints of everyday life and embrace the freedom of the open road. The thrill of maneuvering through winding roads invigorates my spirit and provides a sense of adventure, each curve heightening the sensory experience.
Musical Journey
While motorcycles provide an exhilarating escape, music has always been a constant source of comfort and inspiration in my life, and for me, is not just a hobby or a pastime; it is an integral part of my identity. As an alumnus of the Atlanta Institute of Music, my passion for music has acted as a guiding force throughout my personal and professional journey. The guitar program at the institute not only refined my playing skills but also provided me with a creative outlet that complements my diverse background.
Music has always been a universal language, transcending cultural boundaries and uniting people from all walks of life. It has the power to evoke memories, stir emotions, and ignite the imagination. There is something truly magical about the way music can touch our souls and bring people together.
My journey reflects a harmonious blend of professional growth, family values, diverse interests, and a deep appreciation for all life’s opportunities. Each aspect contributes to the unique tapestry of my life, and I look forward to continuing this journey with a spirit of creativity, resilience, and an open heart.
