Summary

After two years of working in the IT team at Bloomington High School North I have developed an interest in expanding my knowledge in this field with the goal to expand my career. I have 18 years of service at Bloomington North and my position was ended due to budget cuts. I am very interested in obtaining a position where I could continue to grow and use my IT skills.
