I am Interim Instructor in Mathematics for the 2020-2021 Academic Year. Previously at Bloomfield College, I was an Adjunct Lecturer for several years.

My academic background includes master’s degrees in Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. I have taught in several colleges and universities and three community colleges. My primary career was in Information Systems and Applied Research in the telecommunications industry. There I was fortunate to be part of large-scale computer systems development, integrated circuit software design, and international telecommunications standards organizations.

I have always loved teaching and I am very happy to be working at Bloomfield College. I have also worked in Math Learning Centers and taught in two high schools where I am a Certified Mathematics Teacher.
