What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote IT support or SOC analyst role where I can provide reliable end-user support while contributing to system security and operational efficiency. I’m especially interested in organizations that prioritize security best practices, continuous improvement, and delivering excellent user experiences.

I am a CompTIA Security+ certified IT Support Specialist with experience supporting enterprise and healthcare environments where security, reliability, and compliance are essential. I have supported 80–100 end users in onsite and remote settings, troubleshooting hardware, software, network, and access issues to ensure smooth operations and minimal downtime.

My experience includes Active Directory management, MFA and identity access controls, ITSM platforms, and supporting Windows environments. I began my IT career in a datacenter setting and later supported healthcare systems, strengthening my understanding of secure workflows and compliance-driven support.

I am passionate about cybersecurity and enjoy strengthening system security while enabling users to work efficiently. I thrive in remote environments and am known for clear communication, strong documentation, and dependable end-user support.
