Gretchen's Story
Life
Currently working in IT as a global program manager for an Aerospace Company, living in Grand Rapids, MI (though spend a great deal of time in the UK) with husband, who is attending Law School at Indiana. I have the MOST beautiful, creative 8 year old daughter, the love of my life!! I am SLOWLY working my way through my second Master's Degree in Comparative Religion (1st one is an MDiv.)
I was just back in San Diego for 8 months when I was recalled for "Operation Enduring Freedom" at Camp Pendleton (I joined the Marine Reserves halfway through college) but my eight years of (Reserve) duty finished in October 2002, so now I'm done for good! Hope to go on to PhD work in a year or so...
School
First Crush: 7th Grade, Robert Lozano (what was I thinking?)
Secret Crush: James Anderson (a senior when I was a freshman - and a GEEK!Just like I turned out to be!
Friends I miss: Leah Fullerton, Michael Sellers, Jessica Kammerer, Danielle Bunn
First "boyfriend": Rafael Dodge
Best "boyfriend" memories (yes...and worst): Ryan Stofer
Should have married: Joe Torres
What do I most miss from High School? Oh goodness - all the DRAMA. Life has seemed .....well.....**decaffinated** since graduation. lol
College
2 years at San Jose State (Delta Zeta Sorority), joined the Marine Corps Reserve, went back to UCSD & Coleman (one for tech and one for theory.) Fought going to seminary like mad, gave up - got a Master's...Expand for more
of Divinity, ordained in June of 2000, started teaching and am now back getting a second Master's in Comparative Religion. Hopefully, I will go on to PhD work soon, thinking Claremont, Chicago or Ann Arbor for Comparative Philosophy through the lens of Process Theology (Whitehead/Cobb/Hartshorne)
Workplace
Currently working as a global IT program manager for an aerospace firm. With 28 sites, I spend a great deal of time traveling, especially to NY and to the UK (where corporate is located.) I seem to live and breath ITIL, ITSM and Configuration/Change managment. Currently, I manage about 40 people directly - for the current project of transitioning two regional (US and UK) IT help desks into Global Remote Service Desks. But I'm still a geek at heart, and cant wait to finish this project and go back to dealing with 1's and 0's. :)
Military
Spent time as a Marine Corps Reservist. Worked for HQ, Camp Pendleton (I MEF)in Intelligence. Did some briefing, but mostly worked in classified systems. Was recalled for Operation Enduring Freedom (my only active duty time.) Married an Intel Marine. Finished my eight year requirement. Resigned my commision. Husband was sent to Iraq. He came back after two years of duty (only one in a warzone.) Now putting husband through Law School, and trying to convince him that staying in school is better than making Major. Besides, I might forget what he looks like if he goes off again. lol
