I'm a IT Project Manager for the feds. I work for a defense contractor in DC. I was lucky to have jumped into the computer networking field fresh out of high school at a time when an associate level industry certification was just as good as a 4 year degree. 2 more years I'll have 10 years under my belt with the same agency and I'll only be 27. I've been going to school part time for a while now too trying to finish up an IT degree with a certificate in Network Administration.

I have a PMI CAPM and I've applied for my PMP, waiting for my company to find a boot camp for me to attend so I can knock out the exam. I have a bucket of other certs as well: CCNA, CCDA, Net+, Sec+, A+, ITIL v3. Yep, full time nerd...but damn proud of myself.

 

overachiever!!!!!!!
