Hi! I’m Jamie Woodman, an Information Technology student at Capella University with a growing passion for artificial intelligence and lifelong learning. I hold a Google IT Support Certificate and am currently preparing for the CompTIA A+ certification. I’ve always been fascinated by technology—even when I didn’t believe I was “tech-savvy” enough to belong in the field. Since beginning my academic journey, I’ve discovered just how much I can learn—and how much I enjoy it. I was recently honored to be accepted into the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS), which has inspired me to keep developing both as a leader and a learner. This blog is where I share my experiences as a student, my thoughts on technology, and helpful resources for others navigating a similar path. Whether you’re breaking into IT, exploring AI, or just looking for some inspiration, I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Back—with Big News! 🎉

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted—but for good reason.
I’ve been busy making moves… and I’m thrilled to share a few updates:

✅ I landed my first IT job!
I’m now working at a small Internet Service Provider (ISP), gaining real-world experience every day. From troubleshooting connections to helping customers stay online, I’m finally doing the work I’ve been working toward.

✅ I officially passed the CompTIA A+ exam!
After months of studying, practice tests, and persistence, I earned my A+ certification just last week. That feeling—seeing “Congratulations” on the screen—was one I’ll never forget.

What I’ve Learned Lately:

  • Growth comes from action — Nothing replaces hands-on experience.
  • Certifications open doors — The A+ gave me the edge I needed.
  • It’s okay to take a break — Progress doesn’t always happen online. Sometimes, it’s behind the scenes.
  • Imposter syndrome is real—but beatable — The best way to gain confidence is to show up and try.

This journey has had its ups and downs, but these wins are proof that hard work does pay off. I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and sharing it all with you here.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me—this is just the beginning.

“Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.”
— Henry David Thoreau
