About
I am currently seeking a help desk technician, network associate, or NOC technician position within the IT field.
Network Engineer & Sys Admin
I became interested in networking my senior year of high school, when I first received an old Cisco Catalyst 3500 switch with the intention to configure it. My father gave me this old switch, after he taught me how to read binary and convert hexadecimal into decimal.

My career track to becoming a network engineer has been both an exhilirating and challenging path, including taking time off from seeking my degree to gain experiences and learn technologies (like ACI) that I wouldn't have been able to learn so early on without my full time position at PRA. I completed an internship, two co-ops, and became a full-time salaried employee there. I also became a member and have participated in several meetings of Hampton Roads Women in Technology group.
Skills
My skillset has been developed through college courses, hands-on job experience, passion projects and personal interests. Most of my networking and telecom experience has come from a combination of all of these. Project management is an area I discovered enjoying after being placed in a similar role within my networking team at PRA Group, in which afterwards I decided to pursue this futher by taking a PM course in university and seeking out being a PM during group projects.
