Overview
I have a degree in genetics from the University of California, Davis. Since then I have gained a variety of research experience in the fields of genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology in both plant and animal systems.
Currently, I have shifted into the Information Systems field. I specialize in imaging desktops, network deployment (hardware and software), and web applications technology.
I continually look for new opportunities that combine my experience in research and information technology with my personal interests in marketing and business.
