Hi Everyone! My name is Jes. I am an instructional technologist at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in my home town of Worcester, MA. In my job I support mostly faculty members in the design, development, and delivery of technology-based solutions for the purpose of (hopefully) enhancing teaching and learning. I am still relatively new at my job, having been in this field for less than two years, but I love it!While I now consider myself amongst the ranks of the IT professionals, I used to be a biologist (both my B.S. and M.S. is in biology). I have had many people ask if this was a difficult transition for me, and my answer is always the same: no, pursuing your passions should never be a chore!
In my personal life I am a gardener, mom to three cats, yoga practitioner, and avid book reader. I live in Worcester, Ma (the second largest city in New England) with my fiancée.
Lastly, in case anyone was wondering, I look nothing like my drawing! This is the real me :)
