Who Am I
A Problem-Solver At Heart
I'm Helena. I thrive on turning technical challenges into seamless solutions. Technology isn't just my profession, it's my passion.
My journey began in El Salvador. After years in the mother-baby department at Torrance Memorial Medical Center, I discovered my true calling in technology, and today I provide IT support to a real estate firm in the South Bay.
