About me:
I'm currently studying for my Master of Science degree in Educational Technology at Eastern Connecticut State University. This was not my original career path. After graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Communication Design, I embarked on a career in visual communications as a graphic designer. After 20 years in the field I started teaching visual communications at Gibbs College in Norwalk, as an adjunct instructor. It was while at Gibbs that I resolved to continue my education, with my goal being a Masters Degree in Educational Technology.

Other Affiliations:
In addition to teaching courses at Gibbs, I've been teaching Fourth Grade Biblical History, at the Temple Shearith Israel, for thirteen years.
I also have held the position as a Life Skills Instructor with Ability Beyond Disability for the past four years.
