I am a young professional looking to leverage my background in Education, History, and Technology to build a fulfilling career for myself. I recently switched careers from the teaching profession to IT. I am passionate about helping others and utilizing technology to solve problems. In the short term, I hope to build upon my experience in IT to further extend my capabilities in that field. Long term I see myself leveraging my extensive background in historical research and writing together with my background in IT to change the way in which people engage with history and to build upon the importance of history in our national conversation as we move forward into an uncertain future.
