Featured Networking Student for September 2021

tell us about yourself.

I’m Tommy Stewart. I’m from Kansas City, have bachelor’s degree from Kansas State University, and I have worked in Customer service since I started working at 14. For the last 8 years I’ve been working as a Field Supervisor for a residential window replacement company where I’m responsible for customer escalation issues, managing installation subcontractors, and supervising service/production employees. 

why did you decide to come to centriq?

I’ve always had an interest in IT, and a lot of times I’m the first person my coworkers come to when they have an IT issue. I knew that was the career path I wanted to explore. I have a friend of mine that went through Centriq a while ago, so I started my research there. After looking at multiple options I always felt the best about what Centriq has to offer, and so far I’m very happy that I did. 

 

what class or subject matter has been your favorite and what do you like about it?

Powershell and WSA have been my favorite portions of the track so far. I like the “hands on” nature of learning it, and the practical uses we will see in the field.

 

what do you hope to do after centriq?

I would like to find a work environment where I can start my career, as well as continue my education to achieve future goals.

 

what are your interests outside of centriq?

In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my family, sports, anything outdoors, and going to the gym. I enjoy all different kinds of music, especially live shows.
