About Me
Well, here it is: my first blog. I’ve been meaning to putting up one of these for quite some time now, and transfer all of my old website stuff over.
These blog posts are just for fun! I have loaded them with lists (yes, I have OCD) and have spouted my opinions everywhere (yes, AD too).
I have a great family, so there may be a lot of bragging and show-casing going on. I’m a busy gal, working full-time and freelance, studying music privately, and play in quite a few bands. So there may be quite a bit of me, me, me!
To start, a bit about me. I graduated from Salem State College in 2003 with a degree in Computer Science, and I’ve worked full time at Endicott College, in Beverly, Mass, since 2004. I recently started a new position as a “Network Support Specialist” and will be learning server administration, networking, etc. I’m terribly excited about my new job, as it is an area of IT that I have very interested in for quite some time.
I was a candidate for a Masters of Education at Endicott, but went on leave when I began traveling to CT on weekends to visit/care for my grandmother. I haven’t fully decided when I’ll be returning.
In addition to my “day job”, I am a freelance web developer specializing in web programming and databases; I have my own business, White Wave Designs. I got involved in web design when my then-12 year old wanted to make web page!
In addition to computers, I love to read. I prefer non-fiction over fiction, but I’m a huge fan of Harry Potter! My reading ranges from physics to current events to true crime. I also like to watch movies, but I have such eclectic tastes that it’s hard to find someone to watch movies with me (I hate to watch a movie alone).
Music is my passion and favorite hobby, as well as something I study seriously. I play flute, clarinet and saxophone, as well as piccolo, bass clarinet, and every saxophone! I also own a bassoon and an oboe, and will be playing them in no time. I enjoy playing in the pit of musicals, jazz bands, concert bands, symphonic music, and chamber music. If pressed, I’d say that pits are my favorite, but I really love playing in orchestras, concert bands, and I totally love playing jazz too. I play at Salem State College, Endicott College and Gordon College. When ever the opportunity arises, I also play at Berklee College, where my music teacher is a faculty member.
