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.
My Next Goal: Build Stronger IT Skills, One Certification at a Time

My Next Goal: Build Stronger IT Skills, One Certification at a Time

Every step I’ve taken so far—earning my CompTIA A+, finishing my degree, landing my first tech job—has shown me just how much I love working hands-on with systems, hardware, and troubleshooting.

Now, I’m ready to take that to the next level.

🛠️ My Next Goal:

Earn CompTIA Network+ and get more advanced with real-world IT support

I want to build a stronger foundation in:

  • 🌐 Networking concepts and protocols
  • 🧩 Troubleshooting at the network and infrastructure level
  • ⚙️ Routing, switching, and command-line tools
  • 🔐 Security best practices in network design

These skills will make me more confident, more capable, and more competitive in future IT support, desktop, and systems technician roles.

How I’m Getting There:

✅ Setting a regular study schedule
✅ Watching Network+ videos (Professor Messer + CBT Nuggets)
✅ Taking practice exams through MeasureUp
✅ Applying what I learn at work and in my home lab
✅ Continuing to learn CLI tools like ipconfig, netstat, and tracert

Every certification I earn opens a new door—and every new skill gives me more confidence in what I can offer. I’m not just building a resume.
I’m building a career.
