About

As a Quality Assurance and Training Specialist at Indiana University, I leverage my extensive experience in IT support and training to ensure the highest standards of service quality. I develop and implement quality assurance standards for IT support services, evaluate and refine internal processes, and monitor trainee progress. I also conduct research and develop IT training programs, collaborating with staff and stakeholders to improve service quality and workflow. In addition to my role in quality assurance, I have a strong background in music performance, having earned a Doctor of Music from Indiana University Bloomington and a Master of Music from The University of Memphis. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and skills with others, and I have developed and delivered training for IT staff in both technical and non-technical skills. My goal is to continuously improve the quality of IT support services and enhance the skills of IT professionals.
