Michele Fairman

Well, I moved around a little bit.

After I graduated from MSU, I worked for American Airlines (food catering) living in New York City for 11 years. One spring morning in 1993, after I found a parking ticket on my car (left on it when they turned the spot into a bus stop overnight) I decided I had enough of the Big Apple.

My sister Sharon (1976 NHS grad) and her husband had settled in Minnesota thus leading to my parents coming out here. I thought it would be a good idea to come back to family and the midwest and I was RIGHT.

Two months later in 1993, I moved to Minneapolis/St. Paul. I worked for a small direct marketing company for several years and attained a Masters Degree in Computer Technology. This lead me to an IT position as a Business Analyst. I worked for Target Corporation for 8 years and in October 2015 moved on to Medtronic.

My brother also moved here in 2003. Unfortunately, we can't get my other two siblings to Minnesota but they have settled into wonderful lives in Virginia (Judy) and Long Island (Meg).

Wish I had some interesting tidbits or wild stories - it's just been an interesting path with a few twists and turns along the way.
