As a
full-time member of the Information Systems Analysis
instructional team, I bring with me over 20 years of
experience in the technologies which encompass the
computer-related disciplines. Having worked in many
aspects of the computer world, I knew that the day would
come when computers would invade all fields of work and
I postured myself to prepare for that outcome. That day
has come!! In today’s world of work, computers are so
ubiquitous that in the very near future, the idea of
lugging your own PDA or laptop will seem as odd as
someone today carrying their own TV around. With
computers everywhere, why not tap into a job market for
life?
I graduated from Lewis-Clark State College in 2004 with
an AAS in Web Development. In 2008 I will finish my
Bachelors of Applied Science degree in Information
System Analysis. Currently I am working on my Master in
Education and Professional/Technical certification. I
hold several industry level certifications in the IT
field.
My passions in the technological disciplines include
network and computer security, computer maintenance (OS
& Hardware), and SQL database administration and design.
In my opinion, teaching this discipline is like rock
climbing, “You take it one step at a time, look for your
next hand hold, and then make it to the top.” What I
bring to the Information Systems team is real life
experience. Having been an end user for many years, I
know the right questions to ask and I teach from the
standpoint of encompassing the big picture.
