Hi,



Still fairly young in my career, started out as a nurse with a degree in pharmacology and somehow ended up as an analyst for a bit telecoms company.

Since then I have been a ski instructor after being a db analyst for a couple of years then ended up in a dba. IT systems adminsitrator role before moving onto a big blue chip finance company as a software support engineer and general It systems and network support


Now working for a blue chip Global Pharmaceutical company as a db analyst/ systems support analyst with my first love of db's.

With a baby due in July im looking to move on now as quickly as I can in my career due to do my MCTS sql server 2005 at end of Jan 08 with Firebrand following on from my mcp xp achieved last year.

large amount of hands on expeience and problem solving skills due to roles i have worked in and only just realising the need to get certified to further myself.

happy to help if i can with any questions only on here during working hours in teh week due to not touching a computer over the weekends as thats family time ;o)
