My journey began 15 years ago when I was thrown straight out of college and into the fast paced world of hospital IT support. This involved a need to quickly get up to speed to understand the needs of the medical community and how I could assist. The healthcare environment regularly exhibited critical and emergency situations that allowed me to develop a strength and resilience that would further serve me in my career.

Core Soft(ware) Skills
I take great pride in the skills that I bring to the IT world. However, these skills are not technical skills, nor are they hardware skills. The skills that I can bring to an organization are soft skills that involve being personable, encouraging, positive, loving and supportive to both my fellow coworkers and our clients.
