CONSULTANTS
Colleen V.A. Bent, MSIT, Web Developer
Colleen Bent’s love of technology is different from most other IT professionals. Her passion lies not simply with technology itself, but with using technology to help individuals and organizations fulfill their missions, goals, and potential. Years of working for top companies have equipped her with excellent soft skills (project management, team player, information sharing, and communications). She advised and guided a number of smaller companies into IT "readiness.” One former client observed, “Colleen has a unique ability to understand the perspective of the non-technical user and empathize with end users.”
Her desire to incorporate the most effective computer technologies prompted her recent effort to complete a four-month intensive coding boot camp in web/software development. In 2015, Colleen obtained a Master of Science in Information Technology from Purdue University and graduated summa cum laude.
Her core values include spiritual growth, creativity, excellence, and integrity.
