Miguel Gonzalez’s Summary

Energetic and determined are what I classify myself and my career. I enjoy the challenges of life and the enjoyment that my career brings. I strongly believe that life is a set of continuous education.

I enjoy reading about the latest innovation in the field of technology and the way the market will shape out 5-10 years down the road. I am also a team-lead manager for a group of people where my role is to provide guidance, assistance and direction. I enjoy both roles as a tech administrator and as a mentor/manager for the employees under my watch.

Currently, I am pursuing a masters degree in I/O psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I want to intergrate the knowlege that I learn with my business experience. My goial is to consult with clients about their business needs and how I can assist in achieving said goals..
