| Jen Williams, Director of Project Management |
Jen comes from a tech family with a network administrator father and a database engineer sister, and first learned to code at age 10 with her sister "because there weren't any games yet to play." She got her start in Web Design and Development in 1997 while working as an English tutor at CSU Monterey Bay because "no one in the department [had] any Web experience and [she was] the most computer savvy." She broadened her skill sets and gained valuable experience throughout several years working on the Intel Corporate Website before joining the MWS team in early Fall '07.
When Jen isn't designing Web pages, she can be found playing video games, watching the Sci-fi Channel, and designing/creating strange crafts, electronic devices, and other bits of art. |
