 ## My Story
 
-Since 2013 it has been my pleasure to work in the IT department of a small
-transportation cooperative based out of Madison WI. Starting as an IT Assistant
-doing technical support I worked my way up to the position of IT Manager, *the
-highest roll in all the land*. Over the years my title changed, but I have
-always worked in a small team with a variety of responsibilities. This afforded
-me the opportunity to work in many different spaces and gain experience with
-support, networking, cloud, security, management, and much more. However, my
-favorite space by far is software development. It’s why in 2019 I decided to go
-back to school part-time with a goal of getting a Computer Science degree. In
-2021, I transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I started
-taking classes full-time. My education at UW-Madison was wonderful and
-challenging, it was exactly the next step I’d been seeking. I’m proud to say
-that in 2024 I completed a double major in Computer Science and Data Science.
-I'm looking forward to opportunities where I can apply my experience to Software
-Development focused roles as I continue to grow.

I started as an IT Assistant providing technical support and worked my way up to the position of IT Manager, *the highest role in all the land*—or at least the company.
