What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level Help Desk, IT Support, or Service Desk position where I can apply my technical and customer service skills while continuing to develop toward a career in cybersecurity.

At Calbright College, I’m developing foundational skills in IT support, hardware, troubleshooting, operating systems, networking, and virtualization while working toward the CompTIA ITF+ certification. I’ve completed TryHackMe’s Pre-Security Path and am currently completing its Cyber Security 101 Path.

At Phinest Nursery Company, I was promoted from the Cutting team to Clone Care and selected as Clone Care Lead, supervising a team of 4–5 employees and training staff on procedures and quality control. My earlier customer-facing work at FedEx Office included using CRM software, providing office technology services, and training new employees.
