Personal background:
I was born up north and raised in Miami, but had been trying to leave Florida for most of my life. After many years, I was finally able to leave. I have been in North Carolina for 16ish years.

I have been married for 24+ years and although I am child-free, I have had numerous pets. I currently have one outdoor cat that is most likely someone else's....

Professional/Academic background:
I graduated from a high school in Miami in 1977 and stranglely decided to pay out of state tuition for college. In 1981, I graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in Chemistry. After the first four years, I attended the University of Florida and graduated in 1985 from the College of Dentistry.

My first 6 years of my career, I worked in public health providing dental services to those that could not afford it. While working in this setting, I was slowly introduced into the world of education. I have been in education full-time for 18+ years.

In 1994, I accepted a position as the dental director at GTCC where I oversee the dental assisting and dental hygiene programs.

Information/Technology background:
I am mainly self-taught with regards to the technology aspect of life. I use a lot of different software to get the things done that I want to do. It probably also help with my ADHD and allows me to bounce from thing to thing.

I am not sure as to what I consider my knowledge level to be at, but I tend to play with Toolbook, Powerpoint, Photoshop, SoftChalk, TurningPoint , Audacity , Sony Vegas and Dreamweaver
