I'm looking for meaningful work in a field I have past experience in: order processing/data entry, shipping logistics, technical support or customer service. I have several years’ experience working remote in these fields. I am a quick learner and also willing to venture outside these fields.

I have robust professional experience, having worked in order processing, shipping logistics, technical support, customer service, childcare and more.
What I'm looking for
Decades of diverse experiences in computing and logistics have prepared me to be a strong contributor to any team. These experiences include, but are not limited to, technical support, data entry, and shipping & order management. In addition to broad exposure to customer service and retail environments, other professional development has included childcare and music performance on drums.
Creative & technical writing skills were honed during my time as a student at University of Michigan - Dearborn (Computer Science major, Sept 2005 to May 2013). Beyond my own studies, I would frequently tutor others in writing academic essays. As creative director for Real Life Farm Day Camp, I wrote & directed numerous performances, for both live and digital production. My professional interests continue to lie with all aspects of technical support and logistics, and as time allows, ongoing artistic pursuits in my personal life.
