Back in late elementary school and junior high, I developed an interest in photography. I took classes all through high school. Also, in junior high, I developed an interest in writing. I have worked hard on building those skills and expanding them. This included taking as many writing classes and design classes as I could.
In that same time period, I developed a fascination with computers. I’ve explored them every opportunity I’ve had. That’s given me a lot of insight into how they work, how to make them work better, and their potential. I’ve sought to blend my interests, trying to keep my life interesting and inspiring.
After years of more operational and administrative roles, including stints at Seattle stalwarts Starbucks and Microsoft (check out the full list on my LinkedIn profile), I decided it was time for a change. In a weird bit of timing, I spent the pandemic earning an Associate of Technical Arts in Web Application and Cloud Development. I chose this particular path because I got to blend my technical skills with my design and writing skills.
My current work is a blend of web work, mostly WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace support, which makes me happy, in addition to more operational and technical work. Funny, my admin background still drives things. Even as we moved into all the layoffs in the 2020s, I was being recruited for admin, project management, and technical roles. I guess I’m good at that! Anyway, I’m now focusing on the communications work that makes my soul sing.
Assundry additional details:
- I love geeky things and geek culture, including comics, scifi, anime, and fantasy.
- I also love writing haiku and taking photographs as creative outlets. You can view that work here.
