My educational background includes the following:

• AS Business Administration and Management, St. Petersburg College
• BA Business Management, Eckerd College
• MS Management Information Systems, Florida Institute of Technology

Since the 1990s, my employment prior to SPC was in Information Technology.  I have worked as a Systems Analyst, Manager of Information Systems and Technology, Director of Information Systems and Technology and CIO in the Tampa Bay Area.  I am a member of the Tampa Bay Technology Forum (TBTF) and served on the CIO Steering Committee.

I serve on the YMCA technical committee and the Northeast High School Academy of Information Technology committee.

I have taught technology as an adjunct for SPC, Eckerd College and the Florida Institute of Technology (FIT).

I enjoy teaching and learning.   In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors.  I love the waterfront.  I have dolphin and manatee friends that I see on my walks through the North Shore area.  It's like being at SeaWorld!
