About

Experienced IT Engineer with 7+ years of technical MDM implementation and project management expertise. My strong customer service skills, agile project management experience, and consulting background enable me to deliver effective solutions to complex IT challenges. I am a quick learner, always eager to improve my skills and adapt to new technologies. As an IT System Administrator, I work to increase security posture and conduct technical assessments of the environment. I use Jamf Pro to implement security measures, configure firewalls, encryption, and multi-factor authentication, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and deployment of MDM solutions. In my previous role as a System Engineer, I managed Apple MDM with 3000 endpoints, assessed vulnerability reports, and created projects for required teams. I also led cost-saving projects netting over $600k in IT savings per year. In addition to my technical expertise, I have experience with project planning, adhering to timelines and budgets, leading documentation and deployment of IT workflows, and managing hardware procurement, deployment, provisioning, tracking, and troubleshooting. As a Health Information Management Administrator, I implemented strategies to migrate medical records onto EMR systems, managed training for new onboarded HIM admins, and ensured the HIS system was secure and compliant with regulatory requirements such as HIPAA. I hold certifications in Talkdesk Admin and JAMF 200, and I am currently pursuing Google Data Analysis certification. I am looking for opportunities to continue to grow my expertise in technical MDM implementation and project management while leveraging my customer service and consulting skills to deliver effective solutions.
