About me...

Hi there,

My name is Bernadette Thomas. Most people call me Bernadette. I have five children: four are adults. I was born and raised in Washington, DC and graduated from McKinley Tech HS. In 2001, I graduated from PGCC with an AAS degree in CIS-Computer Specialist. In 2006, I received a Bachelors of Science in Computer and Information Science from the University of Maryland University College.

I am employed by the United States Department of Agriculture as an Information Technology Specialist. I am currently responsible for website development, design and management, database administration, applications development, and systems administration, including security for the Plant Variety Protection Office in Beltsville, MD. I enjoy my job and all of the many areas of responsibility. The best part is that I get experience in many different aspects of Information Technology; including writing statements of work for contractual services and developing small applications for the office. I plan to continue to persue a Masters degree in Management and Information Technology.
