Plexamedia - Support Manager

02/2021 – Present
I have been working for Plexamedia for 5 years. I started as an intern while I was in college and rose to a full time support team member after a year and a half as I finished school. I took over our support department in 2023 and have been running it since! As our support manager, I work with customers everyday solving their issues and updating their sites, while delegating to our designers. I also help manager all of our servers, work on custom plugin solutions, and building new sites
