Employment History


Employer Position Dates
Public Sector Partnership Services SharePoint Administrator July 2022 to present
In my role as SharePoint Administrator, I am responsible for the development and maintenance of SharePoint Sites and Microsoft Teams across the company and the three councils we support. When I started at PSPS, all four organisations were using SharePoint 2010 however I have led on the migration of data to SharePoint Online. I have also developed an intranet for PSPS and another for the council partnership using SharePoint, which have both received positive feedback.

As well as working with SharePoint, I assist with other projects within the Microsoft 365 Suite, such as creating automations with PowerAutomate and managing mobile devices with Intune.
Stamford Endowed Schools IT Technician October 2020 to July 2022
In this role I was a 1st/2nd line technician across 3 schools within SES. I provided IT support to 650+ staff and 1500+ students. The role was very varied, and my tasks ranged from password resets and classroom equipment maintenance to Microsoft Intune management, onboarding new devices (Windows and iOS) and networking (Ruckus). I also learnt how to use PowerApps, PowerAutomate and PowerBI.
Bourne Academy Senior IT Technician April 2020 to October 2020
During my time at Bourne Academy, I provided IT support to all students and teachers within the school community. This involved basic IT support, classroom equipment maintenance and asset monitoring. I left this job as I became frustrated with the limited responsibilities and lack of challenge.

ICT Assistant
In this role I supported the team of engineers with maintaining the software for each of their schools. I rolled out the latest anti-virus software to all schools, assisted with the transition from one internet filtering service to another for over 160 schools and more. I also helped with server migrations.

ICT Technician
Once I finished my studies at college, I started with Ark full time and supported my own timetable of schools. General work included working with staff to assist them with ICT issues, managing entire school networks, deploying new software, and ensuring systems work as efficiently as possible.
Boston College Computing Lecturer August 2016 to July 2018

Pinchbeck East CofE Primary School Website Administrator June 2014 - December 2016
During the period of July 2014 - December 2016, I also worked at Pinchbeck East and Surfleet Primary Schools where I was an ICT Support Technician. I mainly updated information on the website for both schools but I did other tasks, as required, such as graphic design or specific software issues
Cambridgeshire Constabulary Media Viewing Volunteer January 2015 - August 2015

Personal Profile

I am a hardworking, efficient, and dedicated individual who can work effectively either as a member of a team or on my own. I am punctual, committed, and reliable.

I have worked in IT for 11 years, mainly within educational settings, but most recently withing local government. In this time, I have gained a wide range of experience in many aspects of IT. I believe my technical abilities are high and I always set myself high standards for my work. I have worked as an IT Technician for many years but now specialise in SharePoint and Microsoft 365, and believe I am a quick learner that can turn my hand to anything.

I am very enthusiastic about technology and aim to help others to improve their use of technology to enhance their work and life. Website design and development is a strong interest of mine and I have run a website business with a friend since 2015.

I thrive in an environment with challenges. I love working on projects and take every opportunity I can to further my knowledge and improve my skills.

Despite being diagnosed with level 1 autism, I am an excellent communicator and understand the importance of communicating effectively and in a way other people understand.
