How long have you been working in tech for and what is your technical background?
When I started my college career, I wanted to be an accountant until I started taking accounting classes and quickly realized that was not the path for me. I then turned my attention to business management and computer science.
I enjoyed the programming classes a great deal and completed my degree in Management Information Systems at Iowa State in 1998. I joined Cerner Corporation as a software engineer after graduation which is where my professional career began. I have been in healthcare information technology ever since.
