Accomplishments (personal or professional):
I am proud of my 25-year career as a teaching professional and the contribution I have made to the College and to the community which it serves. I have served as Acting Dean of the Business Division, as Chair of the Information Management cluster for the past 12 years, and have successfully co-chaired the committee for re-accreditation of Holyokd Community College by NEASC. Personally, I have been an avid skier my whole life and hope to continue into old age.

Favorite thing about teaching:
I love to hear success stories about the students I taught and how they used the skills learned in my classes to improve their professional and personal lives. I am flattered when students ask for my help and advice and enjoy seeing them get excited about their education. I especially enjoy seeing the sense of wonder and accomplishment that non-traditional students exhibit when they realize that they have what it takes to be a successful college student.

Memorable moment at HCC:
When students realize that they have become life-long learners and continue their education to the Bachelor's level and beyond. That there is a whole new world out there!!!

Teaching philosophy:
Education is the springboard to success; take advantage of every opportunity to open your mind to new ideas and to the world around you.
