I am a tenured Associate Professor of Computer Information Technology, having attained my Master of Science in Computer Engineering from The University of Tennessee at Knoxville. During the course of my graduate career I accrued one and a half years of work experience as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at UTK. I taught lab courses in introductory computer science and developed a deep appreciation for the power of education. I am now working in a teaching position I am passionate about and feel that my skills are put to good use. In both my academic and professional life, I have been consistently praised as adaptable and diligent by my mentors, colleagues, and peers. Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills to achieve success.
