Richard Yokley Jr

I am a motivated, dedicated, and loyal individual seeking my first job opportunity. While in school, I prioritized my studies over employment. At home, I have taken on a caregiving role, assisting my mom as she bravely fights Ovarian Cancer.

I have a passion for history, particularly topics related to major wars. I also volunteer by providing landscaping and yard maintenance services for elderly community members. Additionally, I contribute to a local amateur racing team in Winston-Salem, NC, helping with repairs and preparations.

In my free time, I actively participate in the online gaming community, where I develop strategic planning skills and thrive in a team-oriented environment.

Although I have not yet had formal work experience, I have developed a strong skill set through various personal and volunteer experiences. I am proficient in Microsoft Office Suite and Adobe products, including digital media publication and graphic design, which have helped me create visual content and manage tasks efficiently. Additionally, I have experience with Linux/UNIX systems and Python programming, allowing me to work with different technologies and troubleshoot technical issues.

I also have knowledge in perimeter defense and intrusion protection, demonstrating my ability to think critically and problem-solve in areas of cybersecurity. Through caregiving, volunteering, and personal projects, I have built strong organizational, teamwork, and strategic planning skills, which I am eager to apply in a professional environment.

I recently earned an Associate’s degree in Information Technology, graduating with a 3.8 GPA. During my studies, I was honored to be a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and the National Society of Leadership and Success, which reflects my dedication to academic excellence and leadership. This education has provided me with a foundation in IT, as well as skills in problem-solving and critical thinking.
