Biography | I grew up in suburban Chicago, where I graduated from Harper College with an Associates degree, then Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I moved to Seattle 21 years ago, and I work at Microsoft in the Windows division. I have a passion for coaching and mentoring, especially people transitioning into the work force and finding their own safe place in the world. I love listening to Classic Rock (Chicago, Journey), spending time with my dogs, and reading. |
