Introduction
I am a highly motivated and organized woman looking for a position where I can continue my professional career. I am a quick and eager learner, always looking to expand the scope of my given position.
My skills and goals center around use of Linux on servers and desktops in both my career work and volunteer work. In addition to enjoying full time work as a Systems Administrator, I spend a considerable amount of time working with Free/Open Source projects, and lead multiple local Linux groups, as well as fostering significant involvement in the Ubuntu Project, where I hold several leadership positions.
