I have been working in the Springfield School District for twelve years now. I started working part time in my Junior year of High School, and have been lucky to continue to be a part of the district ever sense.

When I started at SSD, information technology was a nice to have, and has been moving into more mission critical roles every year.  This provides may challenging opertunities, and great responsibilities, which also means I never get bored. I truly enjoy the many different areas of education I get to take part in, and hope to continue to do so for many years to come.

"I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."
