I have an MA in Sociology where I studied urban/rural and environmental sociology. I worked with various professors to produce publication quality works. Without any formal training, I worked my way up through my former employer to obtain a position in the IT department as a data integration specialist, working with SQL Server. I have strong foundations in technical and academic writing, math, social problems, and technology based platforms ranging from Microsoft products to database management. I also thoroughly enjoy creating spreadsheets (Excel) and doing research on various topics.
