I have over 25 years of experience teaching and managing aspects of production networks, including Routing and Switching, Virtualization, Security, Windows Operating Systems, Windows Servers, and end-user support. Having started my career in the Information Technology field as a Network Deployment Tech and moving up as Lead Network Engineer, and IT Manager, I have designed, built, and managed complex networks all over the United States. Additionally, I have taught thousands of students Network Management as a Cisco Teacher of Excellence and Microsoft Certified Trainer. I have a great deal of well-rounded expertise and solid experience which is evident in all that I do as I strive to give my students a purpose and a reason on their educational journey. When not in the classroom, I love being a Firefighter?s wife, mother to two beautiful girls, MIL to two handsome firefighters and the best Gigi ever to her handsome grandson and beautiful granddaughter.
