Biography

I became involved with technology many years ago when I worked for a major Health Care network in northern New Jersey as an educator. The hospital was computerizing major functions and needed professionals with clinical backgrounds to install and conduct training. I moved into Information Technologies where I became a Systems Analyst, working with technologists, nurses, and physicians to incorporate new technologies into their work routines to improve patient care.

As the years went by, I started to consider other challenges. The hospital was building their internet presence and developing a corporate intranet. I enrolled in a Web Designer Certificate Program at Rutgers and took a position as a web designer in Public Relations and Marketing for the organization. It was a terrific job, very creative and I loved working with people.

Health Care was going through major changes at the time and the environment for all of us quickly became unstable. Corporate was outsourcing many functions and started laying off. With college looming up for my daughter, I started to look to more stable environments for work. I took a job as the Coordinator of Online/Distance Education at a community college and started at Columbia University in the Ed.M. program in Instructional Media and Design.

I soon moved on to Seton Hall University where I am today, working as an Instructional Designer. I love my job there where I work with students and faculty on a daily basis. In some ways, my job is still the same as it always was ... helping people incorporate technology into their personal and professional lives.
