What I'm looking for
I am a customer-focused technical support leader with hands-on experience in telecommunications, IT integration, and client-facing roles. I combine a strong foundation in client interaction with technical troubleshooting skills to restore services quickly and maintain high satisfaction.
At TELUS Digital I led technical teams on Quantum Fiber systems, performed line and power proof tests, trained technicians, and provided cost estimates and network performance monitoring to reduce inefficiencies.
Previously I coordinated transcription projects achieving 98% accuracy, provided SME-level client support at retail and contact-centre environments with up to 95% satisfaction, and streamlined processes to improve delivery and reduce rework.
I hold a Higher National Diploma in Computer Networking and bring proficiency in ticketing systems, omnichannel support, Microsoft Office, information security awareness, and basic IT troubleshooting. I am committed to delivering dependable support, clear communication, and continuous operational improvements.
