I love the ever-changing world of technology. I am a veteran of the United States Navy having served six dedicated years. I discovered my love for programming in my early years of joining the military. Upon my honorable discharge, I decided to return to school and earn my degree.  My background is in Information Technology, having an Associate of Science Degree in Computer Systems & Business Analysis, BAS Degree in Supervision and Management: Business Information Technology, and a Master of Science in Information Technology with a Concentration in Databases. I have over 25 years of experience in the programming industry, currently programming in 6 different languages. I have two kids, whom I spend a lot of my time with. They are like my junior computer squad as they learn about the wonderful world of technology. I like to travel and learn new things, but mostly I love being a mother. I think anyone who has a passion for technology should contribute to it. Please contact me if you have any questions about this program.
