Text Box: ABOUT THE TEACHER

After finishing my undergraduate degree in Business and Economics, I worked in the business field for 4 years before returning to college to earn an MBA with a focus on Marketing and Technology. My Master's thesis, entitled "Fashion & Fascism", was a two-year research project on 'mass movement' of styles and trends and spawned my initial interest in Fashion Marketing.  While I attended graduate school, I worked at Virginia Western Community College as a Marketing and Technology Lecturer.  This experience left no doubt that it is in teaching that my professional passion lies and I have since spent well over a decade working in Career Technology Education, first with Virginia Western, then as an Assistant Professor of Business Technology and Computer Programming at PVCC and most recently at Charlottesville High School.  In addition to my work in education, I run a Marketing and Technology consultation business that provides services including graphic design, Web design, concept development, and technology systems integration.
 
I look forward to a long and productive career as an educator.  My experience has made me certain that my career will remain in the classroom with secondary learners.
