Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Did you have any internships or jobs before your current role?
I took a unique path, both in education and work experience. I started working while I was getting my degrees.
I earned my associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees all while working full-time. I also had a young family at the time, so I didn't have the opportunity to do any internships as I was already employed.
During that timeframe, my employers also incentivized additional education. I was fortunate enough to be rewarded as I moved up and gained those markers in my career.
