From developing new ideas to networking to taking notes during meetings, nobody rests during a start-up, especially not during its early phases!

I manage our IT vendors, provide on-site and phone-based training as needed, and, more generally, keep our 80+ users up and running with as little downtime as possible so they can focus on work instead of headaches.

This was the largest technology project ever undertaken by the company and it was delivered on-time and on-budget. That project increased server availability to 99.9% and user productivity by as much as 50%.

Every day brings new challenges, new projects, and new goals to be met.

During this time we also came up with a with the brilliant idea of providing a link to this same tool on the university's internal web site and received zero recognition once said tool was implemented. This isn't to say that this was entirely a negative experience. On the contrary, that situation taught me to always remember to give recognition where it's due.

The man I asked directions of turned out to be the owner and president of another computer repair company! We got to talking and I came in for a more formal interview the very next day!

Sure you need to wear a company shirt or some other form of identification, but that's for your safety as much as anyone else's.

Employees weren't squished together and did have some privacy which was welcome in such an environment.

It has its ups and its downs, its busy-work and its "Oh no I have no contracts" times, but it's a blast, especially when you're young.

The team knew their stuff and the location was amazing!

I also spend several hours a week analyzing performance logs and coming up with process improvements, hardware replacement recommendations, etc. Not many people can claim to love being "efficiency gurus", but it's what I live for.

Her for teaching me leadership, empathy, and the usefulness of constructive criticism; him for teaching me teamwork, determination, and the value of resourcefulness.

Wait, isn't that what everyone else says? OK, really, it's one where the people around me inspire me to greatness and I do the same for them.
