About me

Hey there! πŸ‘‹ My name is Norma, and I'm excited to connect with you. For the past 7 years, I've been deeply involved in the field of education, and while I've valued the experiences I’ve gained, I'm eager to embark on a new path. πŸš€

After much reflection, I’ve decided to pivot my career toward cloud computing and IT business solutions. I’m especially interested in exploring the business and strategic aspects of technology. My passion for problem-solving 🧩, analytical thinking πŸ’‘, and a growing curiosity for how tech impacts business operations have driven me toward this transition. I’m confident my abilities align with the demands of this evolving field. πŸ’»

To prepare for this shift, I’m currently attending the AWS Cloud Institute, where I’m gaining hands-on experience in cloud application development, as well as Western Governors University (WGU), where I’m pursuing a bachelor's degree in Cloud Computing. πŸŽ“ I also hold CompTIA A+ and AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certifications. πŸ“œ Alongside AWS services like EC2, S3, and Lambda, I’ve been developing my proficiency in Python 🐍, SQL, and tools that bridge both technical and business needs. The process of expanding these skills and applying them to real-world challenges excites me immensely! 🌍

When I'm not diving into cloud development, you’ll often find me playing the guitar 🎸 or enjoying documentaries that spark new perspectives. πŸ“š I also cherish time with my family and the company of my beloved dogs. πŸ•

I’m eager to connect with professionals in both the cloud computing and IT business communities ☁️, exchange ideas, and continue learning from others’ experiences. Whether you’d like to discuss my career transition or just connect, feel free to reach out. Let’s navigate this journey together! 🀝✨
