 * Welcome to my wiki page.**

On this page I am going to tell you a little about me. I have two children. My daughter, Leslie, is 26 and my son, Nick, is 30. They both live here in Cincinnati and they both have graduated from college and have jobs. I am very grateful for that in this economy.

= =

I am a graduate of the University of Cincinnati. I have an Associate Degree in the Legal Secretary field and both Bachelor and Master Degrees in Business Education. All of my education has been here at UC. I have attended Blue Ash, Clermont and Main campuses. One interesting fact is that one of my first jobs was working here at Clermont College the year it opened. I was the secretary to the Assistant Dean, John Essary. I worked here one year and then returned to the main campus to earn a degree in Education. I have also taught at all three campuses, too. You could say that I have a lot of hours invested here and am very proud to be a Bearcat fan.

Other places that I have taught include Amelia High School, MIlford High School, Anderson High School and Turpin High School. I love teaching and enjoy interacting with my students. I have also coached girls' fast-pitch softball, girls' tennis and cheerleading. Tennis is a hobby of mine. I have played on an interclub tennis team at Beechmont Racquet Club for 26 years. I have played tennis with four of the women on my team for all 26 years. We have become great friends and have come to rely on each other in dealing with the trials and tribulations of everyday life. = = I have also owned my own invitation and gift store. I operated my business for four years and eventually decided to close it in 2009 after the financial crisis hit in 2008. I still work out of my home. I stay pretty busy as I am presently working on wedding invitations for five clients. It's fun and I enjoy the creative process that goes with the creation of custom wedding invitations.

I am eager to get started with this Workplace Technology class. My plan is to introduce you to many new ideas and emerging technologies. At the end of the quarter, I hope you feel you have benefitted by being here and that you are already incorporating some of these new ideas into your educational experience.
