My experience as an IT Professional includes working as a Systems Administrator in both the Private Industry and government. I have worked with technical and non-technical staff at various levels, and in positions that required excellent analytical/critical thinking skills and the ability to proactively, interact with clients. As a System Administrator, I provided departmental IT support.
