Summary

I am an IT assistant with help desk, training, software, hardware, cloud, and networking experience.

I also have over a decade's worth of experience as a legal assistant in both Family Law and Estate Planning.

But my greatest assets are problem-solving and knowing how to assist and train people in a very understanding and non-judgmental way.

Also, I take direction and criticism well, and I rarely if ever complain or grumble.
