I am an experienced IT professional returning to the workforce after two years of full-time family caregiving. This period sharpened my organizational, time-management, and problem-solving abilities as I balanced multiple responsibilities and learned to adapt quickly to changing priorities. During this time I cared for my grandmother for an extended period and supported my mother in academic administration, grading, and course management. I also pursued graduate studies in cybersecurity for one semester to broaden my skill set, and I am eager to apply this refined expertise to a role in software development and cybersecurity.
