Born and raised in Oxnard, CA, I moved to Santa Barbara in 2009 to attend UCSB, where I studied Mathematical Sciences. Following graduation, I decided to stay here and began looking for work. On discovering a Craigslist job ad asking, “Interested in getting your CCNA?” and no additional info., I web searched what a CCNA was and responded back to the ad. Since then, I have become completely engulfed in the IT world and love constantly learning about it. That ad opened the door to work at a local IT Hardware Reselling company as a Network Presales Engineer with additional experience in Professional Services and Third-Party Maintenance for 5 years. As a Certified Cisco Network Associate, I enjoy helping customers and look forward to delivering rock-star service to all CITIG clients.
