PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Experienced IT Support with hands-on competency troubleshooting systems, supporting both remote and in-office users and ensuring seamless tech operations. I specialize in collaborating with the infrastructure team on network/switch issues, endpoint hardening, a range of Level 1 through 3 issues, including password resets, Outlook and VPN support, hardware diagnostics, printer setups, and helping organizations and businesses reduce downtime and enhance efficiency. My background in security frameworks and forensic analysis allows me to approach technical challenges with a proactive and security-first mindset. I thrive in fast-paced environments, adapting quickly to new technologies, and I enjoy bridging the gap between technical solutions and user needs. Plus, I take pride in my ability to communicate cybersecurity concepts effectively across technical and non-technical audiences.
