Summary

As an IT Support Technician at CBCL Limited, I was the primary IT technical resource in the Saint John office and New Brunswick region, working closely with the core IT support group in Halifax. I received support ticket submissions to troubleshoot and solve in a timely manner, and supported organization managers with their endeavors incorporating new software or technologies. I also handled the tear down and rebuild of physical hardware, such as computers, printers, and plotters, and assisted all office staff with OS, application, and printing requirements.

I have a high school diploma in Network Administrator from NBCC and a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from VALIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. I have four years of experience in the IT industry, including software development and contact center environments. I am fluent in English both verbally and written, and have strong communication and teamwork skills. I am efficient, detail-oriented, and adaptable, with an eagerness to learn new concepts and ideas. My goal is to provide quality service and first contact resolution to customers, and to contribute to the IT operations and innovations of the company.
