To Whom It May Concern

I come to Strayer University to obtain a Master in Computer Information Systems and need your help getting there . It is my intent to petition seven courses in which I have enough professional experience to gain credit for them . I ask that the evaluation be fair and that I 'm given an opportunity to personally show you real life examples for each course if my words are not good enough . I feel very strongly about theses

courses from two levels of enterprise , the physical and the virtual . In other words , I can present an argument for each class on a company that uses racks and racks of servers or a company like ours that uses the VM Ware product lines . I can access our virtual infrastructure remotely from your offices and illustrated if necessary

In my current role as a systems engineer , I work with the FAA traffic flow management division . I assist Network Operations , Systems Analysts Subject Matter Experts , Developers , and FAA personnel to establish an open-architecture platform with a robust framework for implementing enhancements operational improvements . I was selected for this position for two main reasons my advanced knowledge in computer network operations and proven ability of modernization of proprietary hardware and software

Before beginning work in the master 's program , I will need to be granted lifetime learning credits for some of the prerequisite undergraduate courses . My goal with the portfolio is to garner credit for

CIS 293 - Administering Desktop Clients

CIS 332 - Network Sever Administration

CIS 401 - Network Server Implementation

CIS 409 - Directory Services Infrastructure

CIS 111 - Introduction to relational database management systems

CIS 219 - database management systems

CIS 212 - System Modeling Theory

To offer proof of my capabilities in these matters , I am attaching certificates of training , performance ratings , letters of endorsement and supporting documentation to support my claim . Thank you for taking the time to review this portfolio . If you should need any additional information , do not hesitate to call me at (703 ) 870-9925
