1) I have had a strong interest and enthusiasm in computers and I.T, especially the Internet since I first used a computer at the age of 12 , and this has increased considerably over the years resulting in my decision to pursue and build a career in IT. That was the reason why I worked for CMC Motors (Kenya) for about two years as a user support technician while studying for my undergraduate.
2) Having gone through a undergraduate degree program in Information Systems and Technology, I have a wide range of IT skills in technical support, networking, website and database design. Working for Lionbridge International as a part time consultant has built up my internet research and reporting skills and experience as well.
3) I am focused and determined to succeed in everything that I do. This is shown in my education, sports and professional life. I achieved good grades in Math and English in High School and completed an IT degree program with a 3.1 GPA. I was also awarded several swimming and athletics certificates in school. Working with Lionbridge International as a part time consultant, I started out as a web rater and three months later, I was added extra assignment as a search evaluation specialist because of my performance.
4) Participating and winning awards and several certificates in swimming and athletics in school proved that I am a good team player and also have a healthy competitive spirit.
5) My leadership skills and interpersonal skill came out when I was elected class monitor in high school and when leading a successful tutoring program at Jacaranda Special School for the mentally handicapped. I have learned to communicate effectively to a variety of people.
