What do you do – explain how you fit into ICIT

  • I have been working in the IT industry for around 15 years. I have always enjoyed working with computers even when I was young. It used to drive my parents crazy when I would change settings and take apart our computer at home. I have mostly worked in the technical support and system administration field throughout my career.  My most recent job was as a System Administrator for a small software company that develops paging software for Cisco VoIP phones in Madison, WI. There, I had the opportunity to work with lots of Cisco VoIP products, Google Apps, Webex, VMWare and various other software applications that the developers would use for testing.  As a System Administrator, I had to have a lot of knowledge of the various software products. As the new Technology Training and Advancement Advocate for the ICIT department, I am excited to teach users the ins and outs of the many different software applications available to them on campus.

  • Back in my younger crazy days, right out of high school, I used to drive a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle.
