What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on IT or technical support role in an inclusive, collaborative team where I can solve problems, mentor others and support service delivery while continuing cybersecurity and systems work.

I am a detail-oriented technical support specialist with extensive experience across IT support, VoIP/CCTV services and logistics management. I build trust with users and customers by delivering timely, reliable solutions and maintaining strong service standards.

My background includes administering Microsoft 365, Exchange, Active Directory, Hyper-V virtualization, SCCM, and supporting complex VoIP deployments and POS systems. I have managed stock, purchasing and rostering as a Food & Beverage and Central Purchasing Unit Manager while also providing hands-on computer and POS support.

I bring strong troubleshooting, communication and reporting skills, a positive attitude and adaptability. I am committed to continuous learning (IBM IT and Cybersecurity certificates) and contributing to efficient service delivery and user satisfaction.
