>> Well, I started because I
started in the training department.
And in the training department part of what
I did was update their training manuals.
So that part of it kind of got me started.
And then I became an admin for the department.
And part of that was also updating
internal, making documents.
So it's not really a straight path that
I followed because there's not really --
unfortunately for technical writing
most of people do it for most companies
that I've found hire contractors for
that because they don't have enough work.
Usually it's for a project.
If they're implementing something
new they want to document it,
it's implemented and that's the end of it, so.
Strayer came in late in my career.
I got out of college, I spent -- I mean
I got out of high school as normal.
And the intent was to go to college
right away because, as a matter of fact,
I got about a year, year and a half in and then
I met true love or what I thought was true love.
And had to put my college career on hold
because I had created a family and two kids.
One of mine is still living at
home with me going to Strayer also.
So after some different life events
I decided it was time to get back.
I had the time and needed something to do.
So it was time to get back and get into it.
And it happened to be at the time their
campus was close to where I worked.
So one day at lunch went over to it and they
said, sure, we'll take you or you can do it.
And the rest is kind of history.
