Why I am here at MATC?

My first experience with MATC started when I moved out from New Jersey to Milwaukee, WI. I heard good things about this educational institution considering it is one of the top technical college in the state. I used to work as an IT Technical Recruiter for a local consulting firm in New Jersey. I do recruitment process from the ground up and all the way to employment selection. My company provides global IT solutions and innovative consulting services. From job placement, servicing client needs and distributing manpower, I was the all around technical recruiter the company has. After my 4 years stint with the company, I have decided to go back to school and further pursue my education. I was very confident coming over here to Milwaukee since majority of family relatives are in town. I have such a big respect in terms of family unity without them I don't know what to do and how I will survive. My family will always be there for me and they got my back!

When I first heard about what is the latest trend and going on with the IT Security, with no hesitation I chose to be in the Associate Degree in Information System Security Specialist program. The IT Security field is definitely one of the in demand job careers you can be into. With a number of hacking incidents, data and security breaches going on left and right nowadays, all companies should be on top of everything and be ahead of the game. IT Security is absolutely a must in order to sustain and continue what you have in the business.

My career interest is all about Information Technology. When I first got my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from Philippines, I told myself that I want to be a well-rounded person that can fully understand the whole cycle of IT. Education gets me going and I believe that the more you are educated, the more you will succeed in life.

I am just 3 credits away from finishing my program with flying colors and I look forward for that day to come.

Thanks for reading my first blog and hope for more to come!
