Personal Information

With over ten years of training coordination experience within customer-focused environments, as well as the ability to effectively handle several projects in changing environments, you will find me a self-motivated and reliable team player who enjoys a challenge. I grew up in the Northern Territory and still live in Darwin with my husband and 4yr old daughter.

I love being creative and baking, often combining the two passions into fun cakes for friends, family & colleagues.

I also love painting rocks, my daughter and I participate in the worldwide movement of kindness rocks where we paint rocks to hide in parks and cafés for other people to find.

Interest in IT

With no prior qualifications (aside from an expert level proficiency in the use of google & help functions), I've always been the resident IT help desk for friends, family & colleagues for all things from;

  • How do I do XYZ in Word? to
  • Help my iPhone's not working! &
  • setting up the Apple TV or writing online training materials.

I completed Computer Studies classes in high school during the late '90s and my 20+ years in the workforce have always been in roles that required me to demonstrate proficient use of primary windows applications. I have always stuck my hand up for creative projects and have been responsible for websites, newsletters, and photo/video editing over the years.

The following is a timeline of key events in my career that promoted my interest in IT.

Ideal Job

System Administrator Territory Generation

Description

What prompted me to enrol in this course was missing out on an internal career opportunity for the role of Systems Administrator. I was found suitable but not preferred; the feedback was that my lack of formal IT skills let me down. The SysAdmin for Territory Generation is responsible for 3 key business systems.

Intelex - the training & safety managemet system

Surpas - the electronic permitting system

Pronto - finance & work management system

The SysAdmin provides advice & support to the business to ensure the efficient running of these key systems.

This includes database maintenance, backing up data and troubleshooting errors. This requires the Sys Admin to effectively communicate with both internal & external stakeholders, eg the Safety team or Intelex support team.

The SysAdmin plays a vital role in maintaining the ongoing stability of the various databases, by performing regular backups, monitoring security issues, and performing system upgrades in consultation with the relevant stakeholders as required.

I have enjoyed the opportunity to work closely with our current SysAdmin over the last couple of years. While we have been troubleshooting issues I’ve been able to learn a lot about how the system works and why things are set up the way they are. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the nuts and bolts behind the curtain and would like learn more. These databases and systems, are not our core business, but they make it possible for us to do business. They store the information and provide the reports that allow us to generate electricity safely reliably and efficiently. This SysAdmin role will expand my transferable skills set and ensure I can remain relevant in an increasingly digital world.
