Local Professionals Share their Experiences in the Field of Technology

A panel of women who are experts in the fields of graphic arts, website design and information technology recently shared their insights and experiences with teens and adults at Project Self-Sufficiency’s “Becoming You:  Technology Careers” seminar.

Business Analyst Kathleen Reilly was joined by Website Designer Suzanne Jeska, Search Engine Optimization Expert Jeanne-Marie Kardell, and Graphic Artist Sarah Stanley for a lively discussion which included audio visual displays and examples of the equipment used during a typical workday.
