MBA University of Georgia
BA American University
Academic Instructor's School Maxwell AFB

I was born in Albuquerque, NM and have lived all over the United States, moving frequently while growing up.  In fact, I have only two more states to visit:  North Dakota and Alaska!  I consider Georgia my home as I graduated from high school in Doraville. My undergraduate degree in International Studies is from American University in Washington, DC.  After graduating from AU, I spent two years traveling and working in Europe to perfect my foreign language skills.

I attend the University of Georgia for my MBA in Marketing and I was in Air Force Reserve Officer Training.  I was commissioned in 1980 and spent 20 years in the Air Force as an Acquisition's Officer where I "bought" airplanes and aircraft systems.  People often join the military to "see the world".... I spent 10 of my 20 years stationed in Marietta, GA.   I did get overseas once where I taught AFROTC for two years at the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan.  It was there that I decided that I liked teaching college!

Upon retirement in 2000, I began teaching at Coosa Valley Technical College in Rome and Rockmart and teach both in class and online.  I have taught many of the Computer Information System classes offered including Microsoft applications (Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Photoshop, etc), programming, computer maintenance and networking.  I also teach continuing education and workforce development classes for CVTC.  I am honored to teach, now, for the prestigious Coles College at Kennesaw State University.  I really enjoy teaching college and have a great deal of respect for my students who are often juggling home, school and work.
