WELCOME!

Patricia Nelson is always for exciting others about technology.

"I have always been interested in finding out how things worked. From the transistor radio I took apart at age 6, to my first tech lab class, where I took apart and replaced the parts of the computer (and it worked!). I love learning and sharing all things tech."

Pat earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Management and her Master of Science degree in Community Health and Health Care Administration from Long Island University in New York. She has expertise in the health, legal and not-for profit fields. Working with various groups on diversity issues, education, and health care access gives her a unique and inclusive point of view.

Being introduced to computers in the early 1990's, Pat has loved the IT field ever since. She has taught Computer Services Support to high school students and adults. She served for two years as a Senior Tech with FixIT Tech MN, a project that brought free computer repair services to Twin Cities (MN) Metro communities. She has taught about IT to the public via the Twin Cities Media Alliance/Metropolitan Library Services Agency - TCMA/MELSA, and served as a Mentor in the Talent Development Program at Genesys Works Twin Cities, which helps youth to explore the IT world with real-life practice.

She holds a CompTIA A+ certification, a CompTIA Project+ certification, an ITIL Foundation Certificate in IT Service Management, and is a Modern Classroom Certified Trainer (MCCT) . She is the owner and principal of NelsonWorks LLC, partnering with individuals and small/home businesses in the how-to’s of information technology.
