Education
Received A+ Certification -6/00

Warren Easton Fundamental Senior High School 8/92-5/96
Experience
LabCorp. 1/07- 10/09
Customer Support Representative 7/09- 10/09
In this position I provided telephone support to callers from LabCorp
accounts all across the country. I walk clients through repairing their
computer and printer problems, or where possible I dial in and repair the
problem myself. In cases where a repair is not possible I either dispatch a
local technician to physically go by or arrange to have replacement
equipment over-nighted to the clients' location.
CPC 1/07- 7/09
It was my responsibility to install software and hardware in Doctor's
offices, clinics, and hospitals. I supported all installed equipment and
replaced or repaired whatever was needed. After installing the equipment or
software I trained the nurses and other necessary staff on the use of it.
In this position I covered both South Louisiana as well as the entire state
of Louisiana. Due to all other co-workers and management being in different
states self-motivation was extremely important as well as strong
communication skills.
Dillard University 1/00-12/06
Computer Support Specialist 7/00- 12/06
Duties for this position included going out on campus and doing computer
upgrades and repairs (both hardware and software) as well as making sure a
network connection is present. If one was not I took the necessary steps to
secure a network connection by terminating cables, checking and punching
down connections both in the drop at the wall and at the patch panel,
adding, setting up, and configuring switches, etc., to ensure network
connectivity. I also have experience in setting up Tut Boxes where no
network access is available so that these users could connect to the
network through their telephone line. Software repairs include re-
installation of operating systems as well as finding fixes to software
generated errors. Strong communication skills were also a part of this
position. Customers and supervisors were informed of the status of work
orders every step of the way. Also, when hardware was still under warranty
I contacted the vendor and worked closely with them in order to resolve the
problem. This included being walked through procedures over the telephone
as well as ordering new parts and having technicians dispatched to certain
locations.
Additionally, administering both the Exchange and Active Directory Servers
have become a part of my duties. I was responsible for creating, deleting,
troubleshooting and maintaining all e-mail accounts.
Computer Lab Technician 1/00-7/00
In this position it was my duty to run a computer lab for student use. The
lab had 15 computers networked on a LAN and 3 laser printers, all of which
I maintained. I also provided support for students and faculty as needed.
Microfixations Computer Solutions 5/99-11/99
Computer Technician
While working at Microfixations I built servers and workstations for
networks. I also custom built PC's from the ground up according to customer
specifications. I installed motherboards, CPU's, RAM, hard drives, Zip
drives, CD-RW's CD-ROM drives, power supplies, sound cards, video cards,
etc. I made systems Y2K compatible by downloading patches or upgrading
older components. My experience here also includes new system
configuration, modem installation and setup, and lots of customer service
and telephone support.
