  "I have an insatiable desire to solve problems. This is what attracted me to the Cisco Learning Network. I enjoy not only solving problems, but also helping others along their path to achieve their goals. I believe participating in forums relating to networking is one of the best ways to question a concept and understand why it works the way it does."
  Sarah, one of our Cisco Learning Network VIPs, began her career as a web designer before switching over to networking. It was an obvious choice for her once she realized how fascinated she was with internetworking. After making the switch, she immersed herself in studying on a regular basis. Three years later, she holds her Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching certification and is actively studying for the CCIE Routing and Switching exam.
  "Although I have always been mathematically apt, interested in sciences and rather tech-savvy, IT was not always an obvious choice as a career option for me. There were other paths that I was seriously considering before arriving at the decision to go for IT. I have no regrets."
