Why am I at MATC one might ask? Before I can answer that, allow
me to give you a bit of history first. One of my first jobs was for a
Manufacturing business as a Data entry operator. After a few years, and a lot
of hard work, I was promoted to a Help Desk Support technician. I also took
classes in Microsoft Access which gave me the knowledge to be a Database
developer. While I thoroughly enjoyed my job, after 13 years I switched careers
and worked as an office Manager for a Structural Company that allowed me the opportunity
to work from home while raising my youngest daughter. When the work slowed, I found
a job close to home as a secretary. While this job has kept me busy, I have
always missed working in the IT industry. But I didn’t want just a job, I wanted a
career. This to me meant going back to school to get my degree. I decided to enroll
in the Network Specialist program at MATC. I chose this program because it
seemed to offer everything I was looking for. I have worked with computers for
so many years and found the network side to be very appealing. The Network
Specialist program will give me the knowledge that I need to be able to
establish myself as a Network Administrator.
New technology always interests me so in my free time I am
always trying to learn something new. My
latest learning experience has been trying to learn web design. I was able create
a web site just recently using Google sites for a local girls’ softball league
for which I am the secretary/treasurer. I loved every minute of it and hope to
have the opportunity to do more.
When I am not playing on the computer or with some other
high tech gadget, I enjoy being outdoors. In the summers, you will always find
me in the garden. In the winters, when there is snow, I am out building a
snowman with my girls or taking my snowmobile out and hitting the trails.
I hope to have a successful year both personal and
professionally. And look forward to all the knowledge that MATC will offer me
to prepare for a career in the IT field.
