Ashley Elizabeth Cave
Ms. Cave was the Software Support Specialist for Shenandoah University in
Winchester, VA during a three year implementation phase of Datatel
Colleague R18 which replaced their AS400. She created all software training
for the university and created all departmental end-user documentation
while developing training certification paths. Mrs. Cave also took on
frequent travel for a top ISO 9000 government contractor and managed the
logistics of peer review panels reviewing proposals for medical research
grants before being promoted to the Grants Management Helpdesk. She now
works directly with PI's to ensure proposals and applications are submitted
correctly to the government. She most recently assists with the software
testing department, testing systems for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure
contract as well as updating test scripts. Self-management is a continuum
within all of her career experiences. Her work encompasses the spectrum of
technical abilities and meeting requirements/deadlines with accuracy.
