Fun!

  • Resource when stuck in a rut and need answers? (aside from chatGPT) - Google, reddit, YouTube, internal IT Handbook (not necessarily in that order)
  • Favorite beverage hot or cold - I’d say Diet Pepsi for cold, and coffee with stevia and Irish cream for hot
  • Role model in the tech world - Nichelle Nichols (Uhuru) - she made me see that women do belong in science and technology, and could look good while saving the world 
  • Way to decompress after a stressful day - My favorite way to decompress is to either work on one of my crafty or cosplay projects, watch documentaries or old disaster movies on YouTube, or play games.  
  • Hobby side from work - sewing, embroidery, crochet, travel, cosplay, etc. I recreated a Star Trek Original series tricorder with my 3D printer last summer, and am working on our cosplay props and costumes for Star Trek: Las Vegas 60th anniversary con next summer. Oh, and I’m designing and creating my wedding dress inspired by Andor’s Mon Mothma’s clothing colors and styles. Busy!
