What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining technical support and administrative responsibilities where I can apply my Help Desk experience, strong customer service, and process-improvement skills.

I am a seasoned help desk and administrative professional with extensive experience providing technical support, customer service, and office operations across public and private sectors. I have a proven track record of troubleshooting computer systems, installing and inventorying hardware and software, and documenting repeatable Help Desk procedures for teams and new hires.

I founded and operated a photography business for nearly two decades, managing client relations, scheduling, location scouting, and end-to-end image capture and editing—demonstrating entrepreneurship, client service, and project ownership. In prior roles, I streamlined administrative workflows, improved payroll/accounts payable processes, and supported high-volume transactional work using tools like SAP.

I type 57 WPM, 10k KPH alpha data entry, and 12k KPH 10 Key data entry. I’m proficient with the MS Office Suite, Adobe, Internet/Chrome browsers, and can quickly learn in-house platforms and databases. I bring strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to perform reliably in deadline-driven environments.
