PROFILE

I provide technical solutions by listening, researching and then tailoring a resolution to the needs of the individual customer and their learning style. By teaching a customer the reason for an issue, the customer begins to learn to resolve on their own, which leads to an informed customer-base and satisfied brand advocates.
