Tallmadge Software Tech Completer
Now Excelling in Nursing Program

Although Rachel Tomello is pursuing a career in the medical field and not business, she says the skills she learned in Software Technology at Tallmadge High School have been invaluable.

A 2008 graduate, Tomello is a junior in the College of Nursing at The Ohio State University. She works part-time as a Student Nurse Associate at the O.S.U. Medical Center and as an Undergraduate Research Intern in the Emergency Department at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus.

“Software Technology has helped me immensely in my professional journey thus far,” Tomello explains. “Creating the portfolio introduced me to cover letters, resumes and resignation letters, and I learned how to properly compose and format any and all kinds of documents.”

According to teacher Joni Giles, “Rachel was always focused and has a strong work ethic—it is apparent because she is doing so well and having much success—I knew she was one determined, young lady.”

Tomello concludes, “I attribute much of my academic and professional success and confidence to the tools I took away from Software Technology.”
