Fatima Alrayyan
Hi, my name is Fatima. I am
pursuing the Local Area Network degree. It is my pleasure to be part of
this group. I feel in the meetings, we are all equals. Last meeting I
sat next to the Dean of Science and Computer Technology. I told her how
I was having a problem finding any tutoring at MVCC, especially in the
LAN dept. I tried many areas at MVCC with no luck. After speaking to the
Dean about this, she called me the next day and she helped me. She found
me two LAN students for tutoring assistance, and one of the students was
in my class. There is now tutoring available in the LAN dept. I am so
happy I found the Women in Technology mentoring group. The program
coordinator directed me to a mentor, Kristen Edling, who met with me 5-6
times at the library until I started understanding some of the LAN
topics. She guided me into the right path. I am trilled to have found
this program and its members who gave me assistance and direction. You

Jennifer Byrne
I have had a
chance to think about all the possibilities that technology and graphic
arts have to offer. And wow, these possibilities are endless! It’s as
though everything I say or do is impacted by technology. It’s so amazing
how I've been able to construct new opportunities for my future. When I
think of where technology could go, I think of how great it is to grow
up with it. I am interested in graphic arts and web design. I have big
plans for the summer. I want to take Adobe classes because Adobe is
compatible with most other programs. I am also interested in AutoCAD classes. AutoCAD seems so amazing.
It’s made by Autodesk, the
same company that makes the Maya 3D modeling software, which I’m working
with right now. I am glad to have had this opportunity to be part of the
Women in Technology Mentoring Program. I really could use a mentor.
Until now, I've been trying a little of everything as I have an
opportunity, but I could really use some help and direction.

Cathy Sullivan
I have been working for
construction/ engineering/ design-build/ architectural/ mechanical companies for
over 20 years. Three of the large companies I worked for closed their offices. I
have worked as a Project Manager's Assistant in almost every one of my jobs. For
instance, when I was on projects, whether in an office or in the field, I helped
with sales, estimating, billing, subcontracts, change orders, certificates of
insurance, and other miscellaneous functions. I have in the past been taught by
engineers to work in AutoCAD 13 & Microstation 5.0 for electrical and some
mechanical drawings. On an AT&T project for wireless communications, I worked as
an Engineering Tech and helped direct utility companies to the monopole sites
that they were told to work on. After being laid-off from my last employment I
decided to take classes in AutoCAD 2010 to further my education and to get out
of the admin role. I’m presently taking classes at Moraine Valley Community
College. Contact me at
sullivanc92@student.morainevalley.edu.[top]
