I'm a super motivated peoples person with the ability to build lasting relationships. I have broad experience in various fields that has assisted in shaping my character and role.

My 'why?'. I come from a culture of patience, loyalty, love and understanding. I seek not to become the master of one yet I seek to learn and become more knowledgeable in every aspect of life. My interests differ quite drastically as I enjoy new challenges and seek for change for the better. My wish is to learn from every experience in my career in order to grow and provide value wherever I go.

After completing my A+ and N+ I decided to pursue a career in IT. My job at Correia Supplies was intense to say the least. With my colleague and manager we took care of more than 20 offices that had roughly 10 - 200 computers. This included PC builds, PC repairs, technical support, software installations. Additionally, we setup networks and CCTV systems for some of these clients which saw us running 10000's of metres of cables and setting up more than 20 cameras at a time.
