techgurl : MyBlogHer Profile

My professional track record has had me working in the demanding fields of science and technology. My training and education prepared me for a career in science, but my serendipitous discovery of my love of technology while working for NASA led me to change my career track. I’m completely self-taught; all of my knowledge, experience and skills in technology were acquired through disciplined and rigorous experimentation and on the job experience. I continue to stay abreast of technological developments in my field and actively seek projects that continue to challenge me to learn. I’m successfully self-employed running two profitable businesses, now expanding to a blog about women and tech. At this juncture of my career I’m seeking outreach opportunities and personal and professional enrichment. The downside of challenging technology work has been the neglect of my right-brain talents. I plan to build, create, write, paint, sculpt, and draw things that inspire me and that I hope will inspire others. I want to reach out to those who need a mentor, a guide, a role model, or a friend.
