What I'm looking for
I am an IT support analyst with a solid foundation in customer service and technical expertise. My career began in retail, where I honed my interpersonal skills, and transitioned into IT through a Service Desk Analyst role. This experience has equipped me with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex IT issues efficiently.
Currently, I work as a Second Line IT Support Analyst at Pennon Group, where I handle intricate service requests and incidents. I am proficient in using tools such as Active Directory, SCCM, and Microsoft 365 to provide effective support. My role involves not only resolving technical issues but also training new starters and creating knowledge base articles to enhance team efficiency.
