Ms. Ilagan is new to Emerson this year! With a unique journey from pharmacy school to IT, she brings a fresh perspective and valuable insights from her previous role as a Seasonal Technology Assistant with Bloomingdale School District 13 where she gained hands-on experience that will seamlessly translate to our district. Certified in CompTIA A+, Incident IQ, and CDW Amplified Admin, she's on a quest to collect all the certification "infinity stones" on her way to becoming a cybersecurity professional. Outside of her tech adventures, she's a taco aficionado, dog lover, and sleep enthusiast---plus, she's a previous powerlifter. She's excited to contribute to the growth and success of the district. Her main roles are repairing student devices and maintaining technology equipment throughout the building.
