I have served as a key representative and speaker for Microsoft Corporation at numerous career fairs, national conferences, and workshops. Among my many accomplishments, I have been awarded the Carolina Computer Access Center (CCAC) Volunteer of the Year (2004), completed the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), and Microsoft Desktop Support Technician (MCDST) Certifications (2002-current), and I co-founded the Juan J.
