 Leslie
Fisher’s interest in technology began while studying music at
the University of Southern California. She quickly realized the value
of utilizing computers for music mixing and thus began a personal
discovery process where technology replaced the flute and brought
her nationally celebrated talents to us today. After graduating from
USC with a Business and Marketing degree in 1989, she went to an Apple
Computer Inc. subsidiary where she was in charge of the education
marketing and training program. Wanting more technical experience,
Leslie left this company in 1992 and joined Apple Computer Inc. as
a Senior Systems Engineer in K-12 education, providing technology
solutions to school districts across Southern California. When the
Internet took off in 1994 and Leslie was one of the first Apple employees
assigned to study Internet growth and implementation. Due to her knowledge
of web design, server implementation and Internet Resources, she became
the Internet resource in the Educational Western Region. In 1997,
Leslie was roadkill on Apple's road to recovery and as part of their
massive lay off. Leslie planned to spend most of her huge severance
package golfing and waiting a few months to look for a job. The day
after her layoff, her phone began to ring with Apple customers requesting
consulting. Before she could say fore, Fisher Technologies Inc. was
created to help educators with their technology implementation and
decision. Fisher Technologies Inc. is now a nationwide Corporation
providing web design, consulting, training and presentation services
to school districts and companies. |
