Summary

A Business Information Systems graduate from Torrens University Australia, I have developed expertise in Technical Support, Helpdesk Management, IT Asset Management, and Web Development through coursework and practical experience. In my current role as a National TAC Assistant, I manage CRM databases and support student enrolment processes. Additionally, my experience as an Administration Assistant has strengthened my skills in task delegation between different departments and roles, ensuring smooth coordination across teams and timely project execution. My work at The Ritz-Carlton Melbourne and as a university tutor further honed my customer service, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities. With a solid foundation in Cybersecurity and Security Operations, I am eager to apply my knowledge in technical support, system administration, and related fields, while continuing to grow professionally.
