About Me/Reason for Joining the GEC:

G'Day Y'all,
I'm an expat Sth. Australian living, working & teaching in S. California at Colony High - Computer Graphic Design/ iMac lab using Adobe Creative suite, Apple iLife and the web. My goal is to continually challenge myself, my students and encourage our IT dept. to catch up.
Prior to moving State side, I taught at St. Peters College, Brisbane Australia for four years, then six years as a graphic designer/marketing manager within the direct marketing/health care industry in California. Got back into teaching as the dot-com crash happened. I have a Masters in Ed. Tech from APU.
In addition to learning technology, I enjoy cooking, real estate investing, hard-scaping, kitchen/bath remodels and traveling - especially connecting with Louisiana and the South.
