Life has a way of taking us down paths we never anticipated. What begins as a clear plan can evolve into something entirely different—and sometimes, better. This blog exists because I’ve reached one of those pivotal moments.
I’ve always been deeply curious. Why choose just one interest when there’s so much to learn? You could call me a “Jane of all trades,” or—using a term I learned a few years ago—a multipotentialite: someone who thrives on exploring multiple disciplines. One of the greatest benefits of curiosity is discovery—learning what excites you, and just as importantly, what doesn’t—so you can refine your path over time.
If you haven’t visited my About page yet (you can read more here), this is the shorter version. I began my career in administrative work, drawn to planning, organization, and streamlining processes. While in college, I also discovered a love for baking, which led me to earn degrees in both small business and baking. After relocating, I launched my own cake business—wearing many hats along the way. From event planning, website design to marketing, I leaned on skills I’d developed in my college days, reigniting my passion for the creative side of technology.
A decade later, that spark turned into something more intentional!
Technology is constantly evolving, and I knew my skills needed to evolve with it. I made the decision to return to a community college to refresh and expand my technical foundation. It wasn’t an easy choice. The IT field is vast, filled with dozens of career paths—and with AI reshaping the landscape, even more roles are emerging. That realization brought a new dilemma: what if the path I choose today changes again tomorrow? (And yes, that’s both exciting and slightly terrifying 🙂)
This blog is my determination to figure it out as I carve my place within the IT world. Its purpose is to serve as a public journal of my career transition into IT— how I’m navigating this shift as a career changer. Future posts will dive deeper with the hope of encouraging others to embrace change rather than fear it or believing it’s too late. I will share lessons learned, IT resources, exploration of IT careers, people to follow, and more.
Thank you for taking the time to explore my perspective and professional journey as I continue navigating life’s ever-evolving path.
