Milestones
My road in life took a while to figure out.
Started my career as a Technical Support Representative at 18.
Completed my A+ certification for a PC service technician.
Moved into Information Technology performing Desktop Support
I got married and had children and become a full-time Mom for 10 years
I decided to complete college in my 30s. I was older than most of the students and a female in a male dominated field. I learned not fitting in isn't always a bad thing, I could still succeed.
I ended up going through a divorce and finished putting myself through college as a single parent.
It may have taken me longer but I graduated cum laude and starting my career as an engineer.
After working a year I started attending night classes to work on my Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
