I am a truly passionate, dedicated, and creative IT professional with a demonstrated history of aligning IT services with business needs. I am someone who strives to learn something new from everyone and every situation. I enjoy all things tech, but surprisingly not much of a gamer (I'm kind of bad at it!). When I'm not working, you can find me driving my '97 4Runner along the California coast, grilling out, or at the beach with my friends. A solid work-life balance is important to me as well as being excited about what I do for a living. I am a huge people-person, which is what led me away from strictly programming and into more of an IT Operations / Support type role. I would love to eventually become an IT Operations Manager or Project Manager down the road. My goal in life is to enjoy what I do for a living so much that it doesn't feel like work to me, and to volunteer as much as I can along the way.
