What I'm looking for

Supportive management, independence with clear objectives, structured workday.

After graduating from Northwestern University in 2016 with a BS in education & social policy (with focus on human development/psychological services), I have been involved in the tech sector for the past seven years primarily in a Mac/Apple support & hardware repair role, recently reaching almost four years with the number-one authorized Apple support business in Chicagoland. I am currently looking to expand my technical knowledge as well as explore career opportunities in the mental health sector, connecting with my undergraduate study.

I joined Lapin Systems as a junior technician with the most well-regarded Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) in Chicagoland. During my time at Lapin, the store opened two new service locations and weathered the storm of the pandemic while other similar stores were forced to close as a result of disruptions to logistics networks and customer bases.
