## Meet Shameika Hudson: From Classroom to Network Administration
We're excited to welcome **Shameika Hudson** to the Tangram Dallas team as our newest Network Administrator. Shameika brings a unique perspective to our technology operations, having transitioned from her role as an elementary school teacher with the Dallas Independent School District.
This career shift from education to network administration showcases the diverse talent and fresh perspectives that strengthen our team. Shameika's background in teaching brings valuable skills in problem-solving, patience, and clear communication—qualities that translate beautifully to technical support and customer service.
### Getting to Know Shameika
**Roots and Current Home** Originally from Brinkley, Arkansas—a small town that shaped her down-to-earth approach—Shameika now calls Lewisville, Texas home. This move from small-town Arkansas to the Dallas metroplex reflects her adaptability and openness to new opportunities.
**Life Outside the Office** When she's not managing network systems, you'll find Shameika exploring Dallas's vibrant restaurant scene with her family or catching up on her current Netflix obsession, "This Is Us." Her weekend priorities center around two things she values most: family time and discovering new dining spots around the city.
For visitors to Dallas, she enthusiastically recommends **Henry's Majestic** and **Pangea** for exceptional brunch experiences—insider knowledge that speaks to her genuine appreciation for quality local establishments.
### Looking Ahead
**Thanksgiving** holds special significance for Shameika, sometimes coinciding with her birthday and guaranteeing her two favorite things: family gatherings and great food. It's this appreciation for meaningful connections that she's bringing to her new role.
In her ideal world with unlimited time, Shameika would dive deeper into coding multiple programming languages—a pursuit that aligns perfectly with her technical role and demonstrates her commitment to continuous learning.
### What She Brings to Tangram
Shameika's transition from elementary education to network administration isn't just a career change—it's an asset to our team. Her teaching background has honed her ability to explain complex concepts clearly, remain patient under pressure, and build rapport with diverse groups of people.
"I'm looking forward to building new relationships with the team and hope to bring my positive attitude and calm, patient demeanor to customer interactions," Shameika shares.
These qualities—patience, positivity, and clear communication—are invaluable in technical support roles where frustrated users need both solutions and reassurance.
### A Warm Texas Welcome
Shameika's journey from small-town Arkansas teacher to Dallas network administrator embodies the kind of diverse experience and fresh perspective that drives innovation in commercial design and technology support.
We're thrilled to have her positive energy and educational expertise enhancing our Dallas operations. Welcome to the Tangram family, Shameika!
