Summary

Talented, organized and motivated individual committed to individual, team, and company growth. Together we grow, alone we fail. Highly skilled in both maneuvering around in KBs and assisting others to learn to locate answers. Finding an answer is easy, sharing that answer is the key. HELPdesk is the place that can make or break an agents experience at LSI. It would be my deepest pleasure to be part of the team creating the support structure along with the rest of the admin staff for success. My experience in not just manning a help desk at my previous employer but building one from the ground up, will be a great aid in doing so. I am a dependable team player who is self-motivated and directed. I cannot wait to be given the opportunity to shine for LSI!
