I am a doctoral student in the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia. My program area is Instructional Technology. I just completed a M.S. in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Check out my (slightly outdated) online portfolio that talks about my work there.

I intend to be a professor, exploring and pushing the boundaries of the ways technology is used in all grade levels. My current research interests are in the ways elementary and middle school students use technology to learn math.

Languages : Java, C / C++, Flash Actionscript, Microsoft Visual Basic, MIPS, SQL
Concepts : object-oriented programming, software engineering, object-oriented design (UML), statistical analysis

    (a) html:  I have taught bilingual courses (English / Spanish)
	in basic web design
    (b) css: I have worked on various websites
    (c) image editing: my favorite tool is the GIMP (It's free!)
    (d) audio editing: a little tiny bit of experience with Audacity
        and Adobe Soundbooth.
    (e) video editing: traumatic memories from struggles with FinalCut
	Pro
    (f) Flash: My master's research involved lots of work with Flash and 
    (g) Actionscript: which, thankfully, is getting more and more
	similar to Java all the time
    (h) JavaScript: minimal work trying to get windows to open without
	address bars ... and other tricks that differ drastically between
	browsers.  (Also for my master's research)
    (i) other experience with scripting and / or programming:
	One of my favorite projects at UIC was writing a small HTML
	server.  See my portfolio, above, for other projects 
    (j) other experience with media or graphic design:
	I taught PowerPoint to 1st graders in an after-school program
	in an under-served neighborhood in Chicago.  You would be
	amazed what digital artistry a first-grader can create with clip
	art.
