I grew up the child of a gadget guy. My Dad had to have one of
everything
including various computers. Growing up in this atmosphere made
me
interested in the computer field, so when it came time to head off
to
college, I chose that as my major. I attended the University of
North
Texas outside of Dallas where I received a bachelor's degree in
computer
information systems.
During college I worked at IBM doing software support and gained
some
valuable technical skills. After college, I worked at EDS for five
years
as a systems engineer focusing mostly on client-server programming.
My
interests in education then led me to Harvard University's Division
of
Continuing Education where I currently work as a Web programmer
providing
online services to students. I recently completed a master's degree
here.
I've found that keeping up with the ever-changing nature of technology
is
one of the toughest challenges I face. However, this is also one
of the
most exhilarating aspects of this field and I'm often amazed at
what I can
accomplish with patience and the willingness to teach myself.
I find the computer programming field to be fabulously exciting
and
rewarding and I hope young women will find it equally thrilling.
