About Me

My resume, contact information, and philosophy about why I am pursuing Computer Science.

My Philosophy

This isn't my first time in college.  The first time I went to school, I majored in English and minored in Philosophy.  I ended up working a variety of entry-level jobs... and I wasn't happy about it.  I knew I could do more with my life.  If I was going to go back to school, what would I major in?  I wanted to major in something employable, a field that would pay well and help me provide for my family.  What kind of major would that be?  Business?  Physics?  Communications?  

I thought long and hard about what I enjoyed, what I was good at, and where I could see myself in 25 years.  I had no interest in physics, and with the time I spent working in banking, I knew I wouldn't want to spend my life working in business or accounting.  I came to Computer Science.

My father was a programmer, developer, computer salesman and tech school teacher when I was younger.  We were the first family I knew with the internet.  I loved showing my friends new things on computers.  I was always the go-to for troubleshooting at my various jobs.  I was good at computers.

As I learned more about the field and gained practical experience, I realized this was the field for me.  I enjoy troubleshooting.  I like helping people learn more about technology.  I love the rush from a successful test.  I want something beautiful, practical and useful for others to enjoy.  I want to work in Computer Science.

And I love being a woman in Computer Science.  It's not easy; there aren't a lot of us out there.  I know I will find people who aren't real keen on some girl working on their project, whether they admit it or not.  As the mother of a daughter, I will find girls who don't think they could be any good at computers, math, or science... just because they are a girl.  I will be the woman that shows her that girls can be STEM Superstars!
