I’m also very comfortable jumping in and getting to know new programs and pieces of equipment as needed. Technology can be a very useful tool in the classroom, and it’s necessary to prepare students for the technological world that awaits them.

In college, I took an electronic imaging course. I also worked as a graphic artist for a screen-printing company, using Corel Draw and Photo. While there, I was trained in software used to digitize images to be embroidered.

Over the past few years I have learned more about web design, developing several websites. I particularly enjoy developing my skills with forms and databases.
