What if you could redefine success on your terms, no matter where you start from? Join us on the latest episode of the WGU Alumni Podcast as Linzie Starr III, an IT professional and recent WGU distinguished graduate honoree, who climbed the ranks without formal education, shares his inspiring journey and professional advice.
From an accidental foray into the tech world to becoming the Director of Program Management at the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, Linzie's story is a testament to resilience and the power of forging your own path. His experience in IT at Kaiser Permanente and Southern California Edison ignited a passion that would eventually lead him back to school during the COVID-19 pandemic, culminating in both a bachelor's degree and an MBA in IT management from WGU.
In this episode, we also embrace themes of balance and gratitude, discussing how intense work should coexist with periods of rest and the joy of life's simpler pleasures. Linzie speaks candidly about standing firm in professional environments, advocating for innovation and efficiency through open dialogue and constructive conflict.
