Welcome to my Home page. I am a part time instructor at CSULB. I also graduated from CSULB in the Business Department. I have been here for about eighteen years. I started out teaching CECS 110 and from that course I developed CECS 200 because of the interest is strictly Web design. The course has been added as part of the requirements for a minor and certificate in Web Technology and Applications along with the CECS 110 course. I completed my Masters degree in Educational Technology in 2006, which I completed completely online.

I am a single mom and have a son who is 19 yrs old and a daughter who is 13. My son is attending college and my daughter is in the 8th grade. They both keep me busy along with our 3 dogs and 2 cats
