I have been fortunate in having careers that span areas as varied as online and traditional teaching, curriculum and instructional planning, online and traditional publishing and printing, telecommunications, graphic and web design, Internet Hosting and Security, and Fine Art Photography. This is why I love my work. Teaching and Instructional Design:It’s a cliché and it’s also true that we remain students all our lives. The inspiration and joy of teaching comes with personal interaction and listening to students and understanding what motivates them and then being able to help them feel good about themselves. Communication Arts:Communication IS an art. The art of teaching, or marketing, or graphic design can only achieve excellence if communication is at the center of it all. Photography, Graphic Design and Book Publications:My photography began when I was 9 and I suppose my creative design began with the first drawing that my parents put onto the refrigerator. In 2015 I was of 14 photographers chosen from around the world to attend the Master Photographer Retreat in the south of France. My photographs have been selected for publication in the Best Photographs of 2015 and another in 2017 as well as in the French and American versions of The Eye of Photography. My motivation and determination have earned me a Bachelors Degree from the University of Colorado, a Masters Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology, and an Executive MBA from the Wharton School of Business.Business Successes include: * Curriculum Design / Teaching / training* Digital media - including the Adobe Creative Suite* New Business Development (start up and Life Cycle Management)* Project Management - Business Continuity Product Development* Internet and Direct Publishing - eCommerce Application Development* Individual brand development
