Hello, everyone! I was asked to take part in #shecoded2018, and now I'm checking things out here. :)

I've been in technology over 15 years, from tech support to IT to dev to consulting to training and now a mix of consulting and training. I love programming languages, and I've worked with a number of them - Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Visual Basic, C#, VB.NET, PowerShell, and some derivatives of other languages. I co-authored a book on PowerShell. I'm a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in Visual Studio and Development Technologies - that means Microsoft appreciates my visibility in the community and gives me an opportunity to be a voice of the community when dealing with the teams who create Visual Studio, C#, VB.NET, and other Microsoft tools and languages. I speak at user groups and conferences on user experience for developers from a developer perspective, as well as various other topics as requested. I mentor people, mostly virtually, as time allows. I'm also a mom to 2 little guys and married to the love of my life (who is mentioned in my #shecoded2018 post).

I look forward to seeing what this community is about! :)
