Always Learning…
I love learning whether it is a new song on guitar, a new workout in gym, leadership tactics, new technology or random trivia!
I think it is what has drew me to field of technology leadership in the first place. There is always something new to learn in technology and there is definitely new to learn in leadership!
Below are some of my certifications and achievements. I strongly believe that knowledge needs to be applied in order to be mastered, so I try to take every opportunity to work on these skills. My goal is to be the perfect mix of knowledge and experience, the wise wizard on each technical journey!
If you’d like to read more about some of my learning, I try to learn in public as much as I can. Feel free to check out my blog!
If you are a fellow learner who has any questions about of these, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Happy Learning!
