- | Thank you for the nomination to the Quelab Board of Directors. I joined Quelab a couple of years ago with the goal of starting a hobby that I didn’t “have to do” and would therefore enjoy; or so the logic went. What I am coming to find since joining Quelab however, is that starting a new hobby and enjoying it, is more of a prolonged journey than a short and discrete event. | ||
- | Like most Quelab members, I am a constant fixer and tinkerer. I enjoy most things mechanical, electrical, chemical, and I have an appreciation of the hard work done by others, in so many other fields! | ||

+ | I have lived in California, Missouri, Texas, Washington state, and now New Mexico. I have formally studied sociology, psychology, and computer science, have my General Amateur Radio License, several CompTia certifications including the Security+ and I enjoy making stuff. I tend to enjoy electronics and crafty projects. I helped organize some events for Quelab last year and I am currently the Fiber Arts steward. I also run a couple of small homeschool groups and the Albuquerque security group (DC505) that meets at Quelab. | ||

+ | I first encountered Quelab years ago while soldering at the Albuquerque Mini Maker Faire. I spent almost the entire day there and then returned to solder projects the entire second day. I started visiting Quelab whenever I was in ABQ and got to know the place better. I met Eric in the machine shop, Bandit gave my family a tour while talking about NMT, and I spent all kinds of time chatting with Morgan while working on electronic projects. I knew that if I ever moved to ABQ, I would join Quelab the day I got here…and I did. | ||

+ | I would love to impact Quelab on a bigger scale and can do so by being on the board. I know there are so many amazing members that have been nominated and choosing someone for the board is a big decision. I would appreciate your vote and will try my best to do the best thing for Quelab. :D | ||
