I chose this career path because

I have always loved technology and I have a natural curiosity on what makes things work

I prepared for this career by

I began with  a technology  company as an administrative assistant, and pursued my undergraduate degree in Business Administration and went on to receive my Masters' degree in Applied Computer Science. I also have several certifications including ITIL, AGIL  and Service Now.

The biggest challenge I've overcome

The industry is still centered around the "Old Boys' Network", so establishing yourself as a woman in the industry is challenging. 

My greatest strength(s)

Technology and Communication are my greatest strengths. I pick up new technology quickly and I am able to translate the tech speak to the business stake holders and able to relay the business needs to the tech team. I am trained on the technical side of operations it gives me a unique perspective.

My greatest accomplishment to date

Getting my Masters degree, while working and raising a family is my greatest accomplishment.

My personal/professional goals

I am hoping to continue to grow in my area and be recognized for my contribution. I am also looking to start a business as an Amazon Distributor. 

What/Who has inspired me the most

I love to learn new things and paper chasing. I am networked with good women and I am quickly bored when not doing or learning something new. I am always looking to do more. 

I most want to be known/remembered for

I want to be remembered as the woman who did what she said she was going to do and was fair, kind and a feminist. 

I participate in the following organizations/memberships

The Leader Learning Circle, WINS and FIT

I enjoy the following hobbies/interests
