Greetings...

Both academically and professionally I have an extensive background in a wide range of both theoretical and real-world design, multimedia, training, social media and communications activities. These activities have included everything from developing written materials and presentations to working with journalists, producing videos, and creating a variety of online, print and social media campaigns. Not only have I worked in the field of high-tech training and marketing communications for more than two decades, I also have a BA in Communications with concentration in Visual Arts from UCSD and an MA in Educational Technology (now Learning Design Technology) with an emphasis in Multimedia from San Diego State University. In addition, I received a Community College Instruction Certificate from UCSD Extension and have completed the requirement courses for an Adult Education Designated Subjects Credential.

Recently, I have served as VP of Marketing for EcoDog, Inc., a startup in the CleanTech industry. We developed and marketed innovative products for home and solar energy management and shipped our first products in mid-2010. Unfortunately, the funding environment at that time did not allow the company to continue operations.

Because I enjoy working with students and keeping current with multimedia technology, I also served as an adjunct instructor in the Learning Design & Technology Department (formerly Educational Technology) at SDSU from 2005 until 2015. I have had the opportunity to participate in virtually all aspects of teaching and managing technology, social media and multimedia development courses, both online and on campus. These courses included students of all ethnicities and backgrounds. In fact, the online classes have generally included students from locations all over the world from Senegal to Seoul.
