What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth potential, training support, and meaningful work in a collaborative environment.

I am an enthusiastic and motivated IT Customer Support Professional with over 10 years of hands-on experience in fast-paced, customer-focused environments. My strong technical troubleshooting skills and clear communication have enabled me to provide exceptional first-line support to over 1000 users. Recently, I earned the Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) certification and am currently preparing for the Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) exam, aiming to transition into a cloud-focused role.

During a recent career break, I completed a web development bootcamp, which has kept me engaged with the latest trends in technology and digital transformation. I am deeply committed to continuous learning and have a strong desire to contribute meaningfully within a cloud or support-focused IT team. My experience spans various roles, including IT Customer Service Assistant and 2nd Line Support Technician, where I have successfully managed user issues, provided swift resolutions, and maintained high standards of customer service.
