Former commercial pilot turned tech support specialist.
New ZealandWhat I'm looking for
As a former commercial pilot, I bring a unique perspective to the tech industry, combining discipline and decision-making skills honed during my aviation career. After stepping away from flying due to medical reasons, I transitioned into technology roles, where I have thrived in analytical and detail-oriented positions. My journey began at Lionbridge as a Search Engine Evaluator and Annotator, where I developed a keen eye for detail and a passion for problem-solving.
In my most recent role, I provided IT support at Greenhouse International Preschool and Vivero Preschools, where I was responsible for troubleshooting hardware and software issues, ensuring smooth tech operations, and setting up essential technology for the schools. My diverse background reflects my adaptability and strong work ethic, and I am now eager to find opportunities that blend technology, support, and continuous learning.
