SkillsCV (Curriculum Vitae) / Résumé
I recently completed a year-long IT project sourcing and implementing a new office print and fax system as part of a wider office relocation programme for a major media company. Prior to that, I supervised the day-to-day operations of the 1st-line technical support team at the same media company. My academic background is in the humanities and archaeology, and I taught English as a foreign language abroad for a year. Given my diverse background, I am an excellent communicator, enthusiastic, friendly, organised, analytical, PRINCE2 Practitioner certified and I possess the drive to find the best solutions.
