While at IBM I took courses to obtain an Electrical Engineering Degree equivalency and continued to take other courses
to keep my skills up to date. I was given the opportunity to return to school. I welcomed being able to make improvements
and learn new skills. I believe that education is something that should always be on going. I continue to explore existing
and new technologies attempting to implement them where appropriate. I am currently taking courses towards a Health
Information Technology AAS degree.
