At PSCI, our IT consultants are second to none. As an integral part of the success of our team the work they do helps not only PSCI but more importantly helps our clients persevere and prosper. That's why we like to place the focus on them!

I'm involved in some of the Emerging Technologies initiatives such as VR, Drone programs, and evaluation of other new and emerging technologies.

2. What was your first paying job?

Newspaper delivery. Yes, I rode a bike and threw the physical paper up to the door.

3. Favorite weekend hobby?

Photography - favorites are landscape, wildlife, candid, and street.

4. If you could anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?

Russia - love the global politics.

PSCI treats their consultants more as valuable employees than other firms that I've worked with.

17 Tech Tips and Tricks to Make Working from Home More Productive (and Fun)

Office Reopening!

After 3 full months of quarantine, and working from home, the PSCI offices are reopening! While not mandated, PSCI staff members can now return to the office on a flexible, rotating schedule.

While our offices have natural social distancing barriers already in place (each staff member has their own office), there are additional precautions we will be taking, such as:

Hand sanitizer dispensers have been affixed to the walls throughout the office
2 air purifiers have been added to office hallways
Masks, for both staff and visitors, are required in common areas
A deep cleaning of the office has taken place, which included the cleaning of all surface areas as well as carpet and fabric sanitization
Office Administrator, Andrea Lightle, has been assigned her own office - but don't worry, her office desk call bell remains!

As we return to the office, we want to assure you that your health and safety is our top priority. To ensure safety, our building has also designated new guidelines they are asking each tenant and visitor to follow. These include rules on traffic flow (stair towers are marked as either "Up" or "Down" and exterior building doors are marked either "Entrance" or "Exit"), elevator access, and mandatory use of PPE, such as masks and/or gloves.

While this is not a full return to normal, daylight is in sight!
