- First point of contact for all new support incidents from internal and external clients via ServiceDesk portal, email, telephone, and MS Teams, logging and managing every ticket in ConnectWise.
- Triage all incoming requests — reviewing and setting ticket subject, priority, department, associated SLA, and contractual requirements — so the right work reaches the right team fast.
- Own incidents through to resolution or clean escalation to Level 2/3 teams, always with detailed troubleshooting notes so no client repeats themselves.
- Consistently meet SLA targets for call handling, first-time fix, ticket response, and resolution; recognised as a high performer on the desk with customer-satisfaction scores above 90%.

- Support the full Microsoft suite for client organisations, including Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online.
- Manage Intune-enrolled mobile devices and support client telephony estates spanning VoIP services and PBX landline systems.
- Perform scheduled and reactive maintenance on client systems and platforms to maximise service availability and minimise downtime.
- Manage client networks day-to-day, coordinating with external suppliers to get outages resolved quickly and efficiently.
Helpdesk Administrator at Medion UK (2018-01 – 2021-01)
- First point of contact via telephone, email, and customer portal, averaging 40 calls per shift; delivered first-time fixes over the phone and via remote-access sessions.
- Diagnosed hardware, software, and network faults — resolving software issues directly and escalating hardware with full diagnostic notes.

Marketing Manager & Digital Content Creator at Real Image (2023-01 – 2024-04)
- Sole owner of the company website — design, maintenance, and troubleshooting — resolving customer-facing issues end-to-end from first report to fix and follow-up.
- Ran campaigns across Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and email, evaluated against hard metrics (conversion, retention, drop-off) — a data-driven habit that transfers directly to SLA- and KPI-managed support work.
- Managed external partners and content creators, coordinating deliverables to deadline.
Line Manager at Pizza Works (2021-05 – 2023-01)
- Sole shift-runner on closing shifts: delegating tasks against KPIs, resolving issues on the spot, reconciling the till, and securing the site.
