As a single mother supporting my daughter and myself I was in an
economic category one would call the "working poor".
Even though I had worked for Fortune 500 companies, without my
degree I could not progress up the 
financial ladder.
I decided if I didn’t do something about it
now, the years would continue to pass, nothing would change; I’d
just get older.
After investigating several career paths, I
discovered the high tech field of Information Systems Analysis.
After extensive research, I found that, not only are women
desperately needed in all phases of this male-dominated
discipline, we are actively recruited for our unique talents in
problem solving, interpersonal communications, and global
thinking.
My whole life has changed since I took that
first step calling the admissions office at LCSC. I have had a
great experience both as a student and now as faculty. I used to
say, "I should…..", now I say, "I did it, and so
can you."
