Who I Am

About Me

I'm an IT Service Desk Engineer with hands-on experience supporting multi-client MSP environments, specializing in Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Intune, and Entra ID. I have a proven ability to manage diverse client environments, resolve complex technical issues, and handle end-to-end user lifecycle processes.

With experience supporting 60+ client environments across MSP and enterprise settings, I'm now channeling that foundation into the next chapter — expanding into automation, CRM pipelines, and workflow engineering with tools like Go High Level, Zapier, and n8n.

BS in Information Technology graduate with certifications in Microsoft 365, Azure AI Essentials, ITIL, and Fortinet Cybersecurity Fundamentals.
