Ithaca, Ny, Us

While studying communications at Ithaca College I took a job my freshman year to start working in the computer labs. I learned to type on a typerwriter and used all my savings for my first computer in college. I saw the job in the computer lab as a great way to learn about computers, this job would lead me to my career. By graduation, I was a student manager and senior technician. They say college is where you learn about yourself and what you want to do with your life, I learned in college that I love technology and helping people.
