Combining aesthetics and IT is an exciting thing to do.
Driven by a deep passion for technology and design, I have been immersed in marketing and advertising design for nearly a decade, during which time I have been able to enhance my aesthetic and communication skills to meet the various needs of my clients.
Moving into IT recruiting was an exciting new step for me. Even as a newcomer to the industry, I was able to connect with hundreds of IT professionals through the communication skills, even though it had only been less than a year. This experience has increased my interest in IT and set me on a new path.
My journey to study Business IT at Red River College Polytechnic was a turning point. It was here that I realized how IT can turn imagination into reality. With my design background, I was drawn to Full Stack development, especially Frontend, with my courses and tech projects.
