What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a mid-level IT support role where I can apply system administration, records management, and cybersecurity skills to improve uptime, streamline digital records, train users, and support secure digital transformation in a collaborative team.

I am an IT Support Specialist with over six years of hands-on experience in system administration, technical support, and records management. I focus on diagnosing and resolving hardware and software issues while delivering user-centered solutions.

In my current role I provided frontline IT support for electronic records systems, led the transition to new digital records platforms, and delivered cybersecurity awareness training that strengthened the organization's security posture. I routinely collaborate with IT teams to maintain compliance with data protection regulations and internal policies.

Prior roles in sales, inventory management, and IT services refined my skills in POS support, inventory systems, network setup, and customer-facing technical training. I have a track record of improving system efficiency, supporting digital transformation, and ensuring data integrity.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and certifications including A+, Networking Essential Plus, and MCITP Enterprise Administration. I am seeking a collaborative IT team where I can apply my technical expertise to secure systems, streamline digital records, and train users to maximize system uptime and adoption.
