She was audited to a programmer II in July 2009; programmer III in October 2009 and her current position in February 2019.
"Yvonne and I worked together since she joined our department. Her talent and passion for our craft were immediately apparent. She embraced whatever task she was given and sought out courses and additional training to expand her knowledge," said Ann Randall, applications programmer IV. "Her expertise will be greatly missed. She was also a talented artist and often displayed her beautiful paintings in her office. "
