Hi, my name is Andrea Kaiser. I’m a technologist and adventurer living in Northwest USA. I’m also a mom of two and an immigrant from Colombia, South America.
I love learning and stepping out of my comfort zone to grow and help others. My interests revolve around technology, business and personal development.
When I’m not learning or working, I’m out hiking, skiing or exploring nature with my family.
I’ve hiked in many incredible places, including the summit of Kilimanjaro, the Himalayas in Nepal, the Inca Trail, and the Camino de Santiago in Spain.
I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia. From a young age, I recognized the difference education made in my family’s life. I took my studies very seriously, entered college at 15, and studied engineering.
Prior to moving to the US, I had a successful career with Hewlett Packard Enterprise where I held multiple roles in Costa Rica and Colombia providing support and consulting services to clients in the LATAM region.
Besides studying engineering, I also pursued a Master’s in Project Management while in Costa Rica, and an MBA in Colombia.
In 2018 I took a sabbatical to recover from burnout. Months later I decided to do a full career pause to raise a family.
In 2020 in the middle of the COVID pandemic, my family and I moved to the U.S and started a new life.
In 2023 I relaunched my career in IT in the U.S. after overcoming a five-year career gap.
My journey back to work wasn’t easy but thanks to the resiliency and grit I developed throughout the years, I was able to power through the difficult times.
On this website, I share my journey while building my career in the US as well as resources related to IT, Networking and Cybersecurity.
I hope you find the information I share in this space helpful to build your dream career in IT & Cybersecurity too.
