Profile
As a mature individual who has spent 20+ years in the forest industry, I am
proud of my ability to begin a new career. My 3rd year of the
Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology is in addition to my experience
with computers as a hobby since 1983. As a hobbyist I learned data recovery the
hard way via track/sector reading and editing. I am able to responsibly take
charge of a situation when needed and, as was the case in my last job when
teachers needed training. I learned what was needed and then taught any teachers
who wanted the knowledge.
