Hi everyone,
I have been in the Telecommunications and Healthcare fields, in a call center environment all my working years. From a call center rep up to a Team Lead, to support my children, since I started early having them. I graduated as a homeschool student, way back in 1993. And after 5 kids, my youngest is going to be going away to college next year. So, I’m on this journey to fulfil my personal life goals, that I put on hold.
I’ve always had a passion for computers and technology. I love building computers, learning about networking and front-end web design, I just have not pursued anything formally, which is my goal now. Your knowledge and help, would be a tremendous help.
