Shannon Kennedy
@shannonkennedy
IT Coordinator and HR professional delivering reliable systems and customer-first community support.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT Coordinator focused on dependable networks, stable infrastructure, and responsive support—enhancing performance, maintaining security, and keeping systems running smoothly for users and stakeholders.
Alongside IT, I bring deep customer experience from moderating user-generated content and handling customer inquiries with consistent brand voice, SLA-driven responses, and careful escalation of high-risk content using tools like Sprinklr, Zendesk, and Brandwatch.
Earlier in my career, I managed comprehensive HR operations, trained staff, and supported large personnel records while recognized for attention to detail and process efficiency. I’m at my best in environments that value clear procedures, accountability, and continuous improvement.
