About me
I'm an international student at Red River College Polytechnic with a diverse professional background across different industries. Before transitioning into IT, I built a solid career in real estate leadership, international sales, and the automotive industry, developing strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills under high-pressure environments. I thrive in multicultural teams, adapt quickly to new industries, and bring a big-picture mindset to technology—connecting business needs, users, and technical solutions. My goal is to grow into a software developer or web developer role in Winnipeg, where I can combine technical skills with real-world experience.
