What I'm looking for
I am a tech-savvy, customer-focused IT support specialist with over seven years of experience troubleshooting hardware and software, delivering end-user support, and optimizing workflows to exceed customer satisfaction targets. I distill technical jargon into clear language, mentor new team members, and have a proven record supporting high-volume customer environments while maintaining meticulous documentation and compliance awareness.
My background includes frontline technical repair and leadership at Apple, freelance music production and household management that demanded project planning and budget accuracy, and roles in data integrity and quality assurance within financial and creative organizations. I bring empathy, strong communication, and a focus on continuous improvement to customer support roles and seek to apply these skills in a collaborative, growth-oriented support team.
