Summary
Technology has the power to enhance systems, create meaningful connections, and I am passionate about using it to improve user experiences. With a background in IT support, live event management, and system administration, I have developed strong problem-solving skills and a deep understanding of digital tools.
I have extensive experience working with a diverse range of people, including small businesses, churches, educators, students, and teams, providing technical support, training, and troubleshooting solutions. My career began with volunteer work in technology and live production, which led to supporting the technology department at New London-Spicer Public Schools. I later became the Performing Arts Center Technology Director, where I managed audiovisual systems, coordinated events, and optimized technical operations.
Through these roles, I have developed strong communication and customer support skills, ensuring that clients and teams receive clear guidance and effective solutions. My expertise includes Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud, hardware/software troubleshooting, live event production, team coordination, and I am always eager to learn more.
I am excited about the opportunity to bring my technical knowledge and customer-focused approach to Subsplash, helping clients navigate digital tools with confidence and ensuring they have the best possible experience with the platform.
