Manahil grew up in a small town in Massachusetts and spent much of her childhood playing video games with her brother and building Legos—two pastimes she still greatly enjoys. When she arrived at Clark University in Worcester, MA, she decided to enter the world of politics while keeping her tech nerd side as a hobby. Eventually, Manahil got a job at the ITS Help Desk at her school, and while it ended up being her favorite part of university, she completed her studies with a degree in Political Science and Psychology. Leaving behind her original plans to pursue a post-graduate degree, she decided to pursue a career in IT.

Eventually, she got a job at a tech company in Boston’s Seaport District and enjoyed every minute of it, knowing it was one of the best decisions she made. She then moved on to another IT role at a consulting MSP and quickly climbed the ranks, absorbing every piece of knowledge she could along the way. Once she reached the top of the path, she had to decide whether to stay comfortable there or take her career down a new path. With her growing interest in Artificial Intelligence, she interviewed with Cloudforce and joined the team as a Cloud Solutions Administrator. At Cloudforce, she plans to use her AI knowledge to enhance client needs and hopes to build lasting relationships.
