Service Desk Coach
From my time in IT I learned to how to be fully capable and literate at solving Network, Hardware and software issues on both Server side and Client side. This knowledge has greatly helped me in my creative career as losing time due to technical issues can be a huge problem.
My fundamental knowledge of applications has also made creative applications more accessible to me, both creatively and technically. This has made me a very valuable member of a creative team.
