Professional Summary: Being tri-qualified, professionally experienced in

three specific areas, and with a history of success,

advancement and positive contributions to my

workplace, I would be an asset in a number of areas

and positions.

With my recent experience is as an IT Help Desk Manager/IT Manager

and IT Admin Manager for a global company, I could go

a variety of directions with this. Previous to this I

was a corporate help desk technician.

Before that I was a Middle School Administrator, which demonstrates

my discipline, level of responsibility, dependability

and wide scope of professional skills and

qualifications.

And, finally, before I worked to be the administrator, I was a

Teacher for many years. In this role, I was

considered to be extremely effective.

So I could fill positions in IT, either: Help Desk Management, IT

Management, IT Admin Management or simply help desk

support.

Or I could be a very effective trainer or professional educator, or

professional education director or manager.

Or I could fill an administrative position. I am open to any of

these.

Goal: To bring my extensive skills, experience and achievements to a

thriving company as a Help Desk Manager, IT Manager,

or other Professional IT Role and be an instrumental

part in its current success and positive growth. Or,

work as a professional trainer or educator, or work

in an administrative role.
