Lifelong Learner, Always Improving
Throughout my career, I have earned many industry certifications. I credit my time with Western Governors University for earning most of my certifications, but I have also spent time on my own working on ways to improve my technical knowledge. I have earned certifications from various organizations including Amazon, CompTIA, and Microsoft.
I believe it is important to look for ways to improve one’s technical knowledge as well as challenging oneself. I believe certifications (in conjunction with projects and experience) provide valuable knowledge and validate what someone has learned.
On this page, I am sharing many of the industry certifications that I have earned throughout my career. I am also providing a link to my Credly certification badge page to display all of the certification badges that I have earned. Along with the certifications I have listed, I am always looking at ways to further my education and knowledge in the ever-evolving technology field.
