With an extensive background in leadership, my career has evolved to champion Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, with a keen focus on mental health and peer support. As I actively seek new opportunities in IT and Audio Video Support, I bring sharpened competencies in troubleshooting and network management, honed through orchestrating corporate events and steering committees. I optimized departmental workflows, achieving up to a 75% increase in production and efficiency.The Audio-Visual field remains a strong suit, where I manage sophisticated setups, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail. My commitment to support services is both professional and personal, reflected in my volunteer work with mental health organizations. This blend of technical acumen and empathetic engagement forms the bedrock of my mission to foster accessible and supportive environments.Kenneth Van Hoose 618-830-5935 kennethvanhoose@gmail.comVolunteer Work:NAMI St. LouisAmerican Foundation for Suicide Prevention, St. Louis ChapterEight years of success volunteering at St. Cecilia Catholic Church/School, running annual Halloween events, using my gear, and raising money each yearCompetencies: Peer Support, Mental Health First Aid, Advocacy, Crisis Management, IT Support, Customer Support, Microsoft Access, Teamwork, Customer Retention, Communication, Time Management, Customer Experience, Account ManagementHobbies: Helping others grow and progress, running two separate music promotions and participating in two others, managing my advocacy program called Wellness Inclusion Network
