I came to Wellspring from NPower where I received my CompTIA A+ certification in Computer Repair and Technology. Previous to Wellspring, I interned at Citi where I configured and imaged over 50 computers, provided troubleshooting for existing workstations and laptops and also reviewed and/or investigated firewall logs on a daily basis. Simultaneously, I worked as a Computer Sales Associate at Best Buy. Some of my Tech skills include MDM Meraki, Active Directory, Webroot Secure Anywhere console, DUO Admin Portal, Mimecast, and SSO Onelogin. I am currently working towards my undergraduate degree in Network Technology at Borough of Manhattan Community College.
