I came to the Information Systems discipline with an extensive background in sales, customer service, and retail management. After assessing the likelihood of continued future employment and advancement within my chosen career, it became obvious to me that I needed to redirect my efforts towards a more stable, rewarding career. I entered the Information Systems Analysis program at Lewis-Clark State College and completed both the Associate and Bachelor Degree programs in less than four years. I am currently working towards my Masters Degree in Adult Technical Education. The industry certifications I hold include: CompTIA A+ core and operating systems, CompTIA Network+, Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP ) in Windows 2000 Professional and Server, Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) in Windows 2000 and Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP). I received my Cisco Certified Academy Instructor (CCAI) rating for CCNA this past year. I am currently working on a Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP) certification and have completed the Cisco Wireless training. I have extensive experience in all phases of operating system application and network implementations. With my daughter, Vanessa, I enjoy many volunteer activities, and actively pursue summer activities which take advantage of the water resources offered in this region. Since entering the Information Systems field, I have purchased my own home and have been able to reach many of the goals I have set for myself. My real passion is in the area of education and I feel that my background in interpersonal communications has allowed me to provide quality instruction within this program.
