I have taught at Essex for 24 years. I earned a Bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland - College Park and a Masters degree from The Johns Hopkins University. After graduation, I worked as a systems analyst.

At Essex, I have taught courses in Microsoft Office, COBOL, Visual Basic, Dreamweaver, and C/C++.

I have also written textbooks for McGraw-Hill publishing, including programming textbooks and Microsoft Office manuals.

What do I like to do for fun? I like to read and play bridge. Traveling is probably what I like to do best. My last trip was to central Europe. This summer I plan to visit France.
