From The Beginning…

I’ve been called a “tinkerer” my whole life.  I’ve always been fascinated by technology and how it can be manipulated to better optimize the human experience.  After working years at jobs that I would never consider a career in, I finally decided to see if I could turn this obsessive hobby of mine into a full-fledged career.  Even when I’m not doing homework you can usually find me engaging in some form of technology, be it my computer, music player, or Xbox.  Thankfully, being Oregon born and raised, I also developed a very healthy appetite for the outdoors and exploration.  My goal this year is to spend some more time east of the Cascades since most of my out of the valley experience has been on the coast line.

The Story So Far…

I currently work for a software company, and one of my duties within the company is to create and maintain user guides for our programs, internal procedures, and other general documentation.  The skills that I will learn, practice, and hone in this technical writing class will immediately and directly benefit my current work.  It will also deepen a skill set I already have, that is currently and will continue to be an incredibly desirable skill in all employment sectors, should I need to seek different employment in the future.
