Summary

Experienced in Electronics Manufacturing, Technical/Product Support, Management/Training and Customer Service. I work well with others just as well as independently.

Currently I am studying for my ITF+ while working my way into the field of Information Technology. My work history only shows a small amount of what I can do. I am a very open learner always in search for new opportunities.
