I’m a tech worker located near Seattle. Not very novel, that, but that’s my life. Currently, I’m a systems analyst at a local non-profit, and over the pandemic I trained as a web developer, completing an Associate of Technical Arts in Web Application and Cloud Development from Edmonds College, along with a bunch of certifications (check those out here).
I’m a Seattle native born in Rhode Island (read about that here). During my early childhood, I lived in such places as Los Angeles, Chantilly, Virginia, and Subic Bay, Philippines. I settled in greater Seattle in late elementary school.
Post high school, I lived on the Oregon coast, Orlando, and eastern Idaho, finally re-settling into the greater Seattle area.
Career-wise, most of my work has been general administrative (think admin assistant, executive assistant, office manager, project coordinator…that sort of thing). Besides working at such local legends as Starbucks and Microsoft, I also have worked with smaller, less well-known entities like AARP, Lutheran and Episcopal Churches, other non-profits, small real estate agencies, and construction companies. However, I’ve always had a passion for technology and spent the pandemic studying Web Development. With that, I took a few classes in Cisco networking (the internet is a big network, right?) as well as desktop support. This page showcases my tech stack and certifications.
And, somewhat incongruously, I am fond of writing, poetry (especially haiku), and photography.
