When I was the perfect age for glue sticks my dad let me help finish up the layout for the camera. I loved using the same glue-stick I used at school to do big people's work, I also liked the precision it took to line up the text perfectly straight with the blue lines that would not be visible to the plate camera.
This early experience led me to join the high school yearbook for several of my high school years. High school yearbooks in the late 90s were an odd mix of the old and the new, some good old fashion glue-sticks, and some pages painstakingly laid out in PageMaker on one of the two computers available.
After school I went into marketing and print design, but the web was being requested more and more so I adapted. I taught myself HTML, CSS, Javascript (this was pre JQuery), and PHP and started building websites along with my other skills. I became a web accessibility subject matter expert, speaking on the subject several times in the Nashville development community.
After years of experience in design and development of websites and applications, I transferred to a business analyst and project management role. Here I got to use my extensive multi-discipline experience to manage and launch products.
