I’ve worked in IT for over 25 years with jobs in helpdesk, systems, SQL dev, data architecture, and management. The one thing all of these roles have in common is people. I love the technical and puzzle elements of the job, but people are a part of everyone’s journey. It has become my mission to find ways to bring the personal touch to everything I do. I am part of the Microsoft Certified Trainer Alumni program, I love teaching, and because of this I have been honored to speak at industry events and corporate training venues such as WebMD Academy, PASS Summit, SQL Saturday, and Spiceworks conferences.
