I completed my B.S. in Education degree at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I completed my M.Ed. in Instructional Technology at Troy University in Alabama. I am actively pursuing my PhD. in Education - Educational Technology.

I have spent 17 years of my life living overseas in Korea, Germany, Japan and Portugal. While overseas, I was a tourist in Austria, Belgium, England, France, Holland, Italy, Lichtenstein, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia and Turkey. I enjoy spending time with my family, photography, reading and traveling.
