My role at the college is IT Technician\Systems administrator. I am responsible for the day-to-day operational use of Ruskin’s computing network including Educational and Business systems and also support all staff and students with IT related queries and problems. I also work in tandem with the college’s IT contractor, Gigastream, to deliver an effective IT service to the college.
I joined Ruskin in 2004 after working in the corporate sector for more than 15 years in a variety of installation\networking and helpdesk support roles and feel that this has given me a good overall grounding in IT Technologies and the ability to quickly troubleshoot problems and provide solutions.
I was attracted to Ruskin’s ‘second chance’ ethos of providing an educational opportunity to those who had missed out and also to the college’s commitment to widening participation.
