About GinA

GinA discovered her passion for computers in grade school while learning BASIC computer programming which led her to pursue a career involving computers.

She started working as a secretary in the late 80s, then as a legal secretary in the early 90s, and later completed Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer network training in 1999.

Through self-teaching, GinA expanded her computer skills to include website and graphic design, as well as building, troubleshooting, and managing her own computer server network.
