Close Up
  • What I Do

    I am a microwave radio engineer for Verizon

  • Why Engineering?

    I am very analytical and I am able to see how things work or should work.  

  • School Days

    Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston MA

  • My Day At Work

    I design wireless networks, file FCC licenses, review structural for towers, product and project manage

  • Best Part

    It comes naturally and just clicks for me!  That is a great feeling when I have to work at so many other things and my job feels very natural to me.

  • Proud Moments

    Graduating school!  
    Thinking of a concept, designing it, working with others to get my idea to become reality and it actually work when others didn't believe it could or would

  • Challenges

    I have learning disabilities, and school was not easy.  I can't read or spell. . . my eyes would roll in the back of my head, I would look at the words and my brain just could not comprehend what I just read even if I could struggle reading it.

  • My Family

    I am one of four children, and out of the four of us my brother and I inherited our learning disabilities from my fathers, but that is where we also got my mechanical abilities form him as well.

  • Dreams and Goals

    Work - I am working on several projects for a couple of years now.  I would like to conclude them with the successful resolution I envision.
    Personally - I am moving myself, dog and cat to a new state.  I want to live the best life I can. 

  • Inspiration

    I had a teacher in school that told me that I would equate to nothing, and that drove me to become someone!  I was not going to allow her or anyone else negative thoughts dictate my future, so I set out to prove her wrong.

  • Want to be an Engineer?

    You can be and do anything you want!  Don't listen to anyone else's negativity. . . Live your best life for you!

  • Hobbies

    Books!  I love books!  With my learning disabilities I don't have the ability to read and comprehend actual books, but that has not stopped me.  I love books on tapes!

Biography
I was not part of the popular kids, I was not smart! I spent my time in the resource room with special Ed teachers. I use technology to help me find my way! Computers spell check my everything, I use my tablet to download books to listen to. Yes, I have learning disabilities, but they do not define who I am! I define who I am, what I want to do with my life and I control my life!
