Summary
My passion lies in technology. I am skilled at learning new concepts quickly, working well under
pressure, and communicating ideas clearly and effectively. While working at Verizon I was able to improve my
customer relation skills by providing quick and professional instruction on how to resolve problems to users. I
was able to reduce the technicality of an issue to the end- user level of understanding to better assist them in
whatever the issue may have been. I’m very good at helping people and getting people involved. I was able to
demonstrate this by keeping good team morale and making sure my team was motivated to complete the task at
hand. Managing a team of eight; I was able to successfully meet targets that the company desired and received
great feedback from the end user. I have extensive computer training, including knowledge of multiple
networking environments and business software packages as well as fixing computers from both the hardware
and software aspect. My skill set has increased in my most recent position by utilizing writing complex SQL
queries. I learn quickly, effectively and work extremely well with others. I can provide a great impact to your
team by being efficient and effective. Technology is my passion and I look forward to make a direct impact and
furthering my career in in the industry.
