I have been in the AT field for about two years, and I have received
training at Arizona State University in Computer Information Systems, so
I have some background in coding.
I would like to help in anyway possible. Since I have been in this
field, I am always in search of low cost but effective products. This
is due to me making recommendation daily for my clients.
So I would love to help.

and my
