About Me

I'm a detail-oriented IT Support Specialist with hands-on help desk experience in both academic and corporate environments. I'm currently working on my Bachelor's degree in Information Science & Technology at UW-Milwaukee, expected 2026.

I'm skilled in Active Directory, MFA configuration, network troubleshooting, and end-user support, and I have a strong customer-service background that helps me communicate technical solutions clearly and resolve issues efficiently. I'm always seeking new opportunities and genuinely love working with people to solve problems.
