WEBSITE DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT
Designing websites first became a passion of mine when I started surfing the web in 1996, and the World Wide Web was in the early stags. I began looking into how websites were created, and I was able to be a part of Environment Canada building a billingual website for the Hydrology Division using their printed literature. After working with a side department for an additional contract, I took a Multimedia Web Development course in 2001. However, at this time the tech sector was going through an extremely tough time, so I looked at other career options. However, with the new emerging technologies being used on the web, I took a wonderful opportunity at Public Health Agency Of Canada in web development. I feel more energized than ever about web design and development is going, and would love to be along for the ride.

COMPUTER SUPPORT/REPAIR
My experience with computer support and repair was started in 2005, when I attended the Willis College of Business and Technology. I was enrolled in the Technical Support Specialist program, and recieved my MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) for Installing, Configuring and Administating Windows XP Professional. During this time, I also recieved my Microsoft A+ Certification. After this course, I had the opportunity to work at Staples Business Depot at a PC technician, and moved onto Dell Hardware Support, where we assisted their business customers with hardware support. We eventually moved onto supporting non-business customers, and I have to say it was a rewarding experience. Although I work on web development and design as my main career objective, I also enjoy focusing on computer repair and support whenever I can....


My professional career background has expanded nearly 14 years, mainly in the area of IT field. The experience that I have gathered within this time has been well served and developed into a solid foundation of knowledge, dedication to my craft, and research of new and emerging technologies.
