I first came to EIU as an undergraduate in 1993. I was lucky enough to engage with faculty that were truly interested in helping me succeed. The experience was so inspiring that I decided to join the EIU team in 2002 and began work in the ITS Department. I received my MS in Computer Technology from EIU in 2005. In 2011, I began teaching as an adjunct instructor in the School of Technology. In 2021, I left ITS to work full time as an instructor in the School Of Technology.
