San Francisco, CA

I am an artist with diverse experience in 2D and 3D digital graphics prepared for the Web and other digital output. One of my strengths is developing prototype solutions using multiple applications. I am also an educator specializing in syllabus design, curriculum development, distance learning modules, editing, the implementation of technology in the classroom and online, which I have been doing since 1994. I was one of the first graduates from the San Francisco State Multimedia Studies Program in 1995. I also specialize in English language acquisition, pronunciation and business and computer education for English learners. I am currently teaching at the University of San Francisco and doing research there for my grant.
