Cadmium

As a kid, I rode horses and went skiing with my parents and brother. Holidays were always magical at my grandparents' house in Seaford, and I had a blast with my friends in school.

I went to school at Salisbury University for Information Systems, worked in tech support during school and for 8/+ years after graduating. Now I'm excited to be a Product Specialist for Cadmium.

I’m a new mom to a 3 year old daughter named Adelaide (Addi for short) who loves animals, colors, and learning new things.
