Sop for Ms It
The seeds of my love for computers were first planted during my middle school years, when I excelled in mathematics and information technology. My teachers noticed my aptitude early on and fostered my talents in this area, so that initial interest developed into a professional dream.
My first steps on this career path began after high school when I completed a year-long I.T. fundamental course at a local college and then transferred to the University of West Indies, Western Jamaica Campus. Majoring in Management Information Systems was a highly educational experience from me, as I learned not only the technical skills I would need for a career in the IT field but also the jargon and industry specifics that would aid me in my future endeavors.
Recently, I completed a final-year group project to create a timetable/room scheduling system aimed at replacing an Excel process that was long and error-prone. As the group leader, I assigned tasks and oversaw all aspects of the project including coding, testing and documentation. We delivered an accurate, portable, scalable, robust, user-friendly system that surpassed the general expectations of the designated user, we were publicly acknowledged for most outstanding and creative system. This experience and feeling of fulfillment, along with others in my discipline of information systems, has helped hone my desire to focus on the user experience and database management in particular.
Along with the knowledge I have garnered through education, I bring business skills amassed from serving as an assistant manager in a retail setting and founding my own business which I use to support my academic pursuits. In addition, I have also worked on organizing events and leading classroom activities in a voluntary capacity.
My commitment to the community can be seen through my volunteer work with multiple organizations. One activity where I had the opportunity to blend my love for technology and my passion for helping others
