  Information Technology Intern

  As an Information Technology Intern, I traveled to various shelter locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for computer deployment and network maintenance, ensuring domestic victims had access to computers and online resources. I also troubleshooted network connectivity issues.Furthermore, upon my arrival at the organization, there was no centralized documentation system at the head office for devices. Throughout the internship, I created simple and easy documentation detailing all the devices and any maintenance that needed to occur. This documentation helped connect upper management with the tasks being done within the department. Show less
