Prior to the healthcare IT position, Carol managed a large and busy help desk for a retail pharmacy chain after working as a network support engineer at a community college in Pennsylvania.  Carol’s introduction to technology started with a 12-year enlistment with the U.S. Navy in Naval Security Group.

Carol moved to Gillette in 2014, and when not in front of a computer, she enjoys digging in her flower garden, riding horses with friends, and exploring the outdoors.
