As Marketing Manager with database specialization at Golden Casino Group I became very experienced with SQL database configuration, querying, and consolidation. Before that, as an Information Technology Systems Analyst, I had the opportunity to get hands-on with a broad array of technology, including domain server groups supporting major database products for marketing and slot accounting systems. Responsibilities included research and procurement of new technology solutions, hands-on installation and support of technology and cable infrastructure, and diagnostic troubleshooting and repair of issues.

This experience grew from previous technology support experience at KTVD UPN20--which emphasized graphics, printing, and video development technology; Kinko's--which emphasized printing, desktop publishing, and support of customer self-serve computers; and Sykes Enterprises--which handled end-user telephone support for Macintosh computers. Initial thanks for my computer experience go to my parents for buying me that Commodore 64!

Accomplishments in this field include:

"I liked ______ before it was cool!" Many of the technologoies that are now widely popular were things I loved even during the rough times. I like to think of myself as a guide for my friends and family, guiding them through the hype to the technology experiences they would most enjoy.

This, combined with Marketing experience in non-technology areas, leads me to think I might have a lot to offer in connecting technology to mainstream users, from either a technology or a marketing standpoint.
