During my time there, I developed a strong understanding of the importance of documenting all technical work.I then advanced to Platinum Insurance Marketing, where I received training in database administration using Goldmine.

I also worked as a Database Services Manager at the Santa Barbara Center for the Performing Arts, managing constituent records and overseeing ticketing services for online transactions. In this capacity, I led consortium meetings for system upgrades and simplified technical documentation, all while configuring ticket scanning devices to streamline event operations.
