Biography
My educational background is: I have a MISM (Masters in Information Systems Management) and a BSTM (Bachelors of Science in Technical Management. I have been in the work industry since I was 15 holding a variety of positions. I worked for many years in the Real Estate business in a Call Center providing technical assistance to Agents and their owners. Then I moved onto another call center where I was a Trainer and a Help Desk Technician to employees of a very large accounting firm. I have held other various IT positions as well. Here I am now teaching IT Courses. Somewhere I never imagined being, let alone loving what I do. I also teach for Information Technology at Pasco-Hernando Community College.
I considered myself a Technical person, having interest in Business and Technology for as long as I can remember. I am always looking for ways to improve current technology I have access too. I also took pride in being the Director of Children's Education for our church and handled all of their technical issues as well as preparing weekly power points for services for 3 years. My main focus is Teaching and ensuring all of my students succeed.
My teaching philosophy is everyone deserves a chance at learning through various ways. I believe in communication as the key goal for students and professors to succeed in each course. Professors should always be available to assist students in various ways as each student has a different way of learning and a different way of understanding material presented to them. It is my goal to have every student that I am involved with to succeed to their fullest extent and to provide as much assistance to them as I possibly can.
My interests are my 3 children, all girls, 14, 12 and 4. I also enjoy volunteering at my church, as well as teaching college courses, and helping in various ways anywhere I can, I love being involved with people. I take pride in keeping the Highest Student Success Rate for Gateway Courses in my Department.
