About Debbie Hires

I am an information technology project manager with a solid history of both integration and qualification of network needs. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with a diverse range of clients on a variety of projects, including wireless infrastructure upgrades, system creation, and Citrix migration projects. I am a very fast learner and pick up new technologies and methodologies very quickly. My friends and coworkers would say that I am very personable and quite meticulous in my process, but quite flexible when it comes to needed changes in the process as well. I work very hard and have high praise from our vendors for providing detailed explanations of what is needed in a project, making their positions easier. I truly love working from home, but am not opposed to travel as well, I can thrive in most environments.Personally, I love off road adventures, woodworking, gardening, and my border collies! I enjoy making others laugh and making a difference, one project at a time. Feel free to contact me if you’re interested in networking!
