Building a career in reliable, secure technology.

I am an IT support, cloud, and networking professional in training with hands-on troubleshooting experience, customer-facing operations expertise, and a growing foundation in Windows, Linux, networking, cloud infrastructure, and IT service management.

Practical problem-solving with a customer-first mindset.

I am transitioning from ecommerce operations and website management into IT support, networking, cloud, and data-center-focused work. My professional background includes troubleshooting, technical communication, digital operations, HTML/CSS customization, and helping customers solve problems.

I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Cloud and Network Engineering through Western Governors University. I am focused on developing real-world skills in support, Linux, networking, cloud infrastructure, security, and technical documentation.
