About Me

This website provides examples of my work in Information Systems research, teaching, and Technical Communication. Below is some background information about me.

I originally graduated from NJIT with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, but realized that my true passion lay in helping people interact with technology. Therefore, upon graduation, I immediately applied for a position as a technical writer, and I worked in that field for 20 years, focusing particularly on software documentation.

My technical background is a great benefit to my work and my research, as can be seen from my resume. After returning to NJIT and completing a Master of Science in Professional and Technical Communication, I decided to expand my expertise in computer human interaction by pursuing a doctorate in Information Systems with a focus on technology enhanced learning and social network analysis.

I am proud to acknowledge the following recognitions:

Nominee for Excellence in Instruction by a Teaching Assistant award (2015)
Member of research team awarded First Place in Dana Knox Research Showcase for Graduate Student Research (2015)
Recipient, Class of 1958 Fellowship (2014-2015)
Recipient, Constance A. Murray Scholarship (2014).
Member and Vice President, Alpha Epsilon Lambda (AEL), the Graduate student Honor Society
