A Little Bit About Me...

I began my career in the field of education as a high school teacher.  I worked in the classroom for seven years as a Marketing Education teacher/ DECA Advisor/ Work Based Learning Coordinator in the Henry County School System. I also worked in conjunction with the Henry County School System and Tennessee Department of Vocation Rehabilitation as a  "School to Work" Case Manager.  My experience, in addition to serving as a Marketing instructor, includes teaching computer literacy courses through the Henry County Adult Basic Education Program as well as integrating gaming and simulations into course curriculum.

I joined the University of Memphis Advanced Learning Center staff June 1, 2005.  In my current position as an Academic Technology Consultant, I have played an active role in several U of M projects including the  standardization of a campus wide personal response system, campus implementation of anti-plagiarism software, and the transition to a new course management system.

A native of Paris, TN, I received my BS in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing from the University of  Tennessee at Martin. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Instructional Design and Technology at the University of  Memphis.
