Background Information
I have been working professionally in computer programming for 20 years, have taught computer science as an adjunct at several local colleges, and have been teaching at Westchester Community College for 6 years. I had been working in the graphics industry as an illustrator and graphic designer for several years when I discovered that I loved to work with computer programming, and after working in the industry for a while, went back to school to get my degrees in computer science. After being asked to be a computer science adjunct at Purchase College, I realized that I also loved teaching and took on more adjuncting assignments at other schools, eventually applying for a full-time position at Westchester Community College. As a professor and curriculum chair, I have enjoyed and found it rewarding to work with every Computer Science student in and out of the classroom, helping them to enhance their knowledge, skills and educational pursuits. Outside of Westchester Community College, I still like to pick up a paintbrush once in a while, love to garden, hike, travel, go to art museums, and I like to go to the beach on any ocean in any country on the earth whenever I can.
