Biographical Info
My professional background includes programming with
database management systems, on PCs, minicomputers and mainframes. I was a network
administrator/analyst for about 5 years and promoted two years ago to director of
technology here at UIUC. My job is to design networks and manage technical personnel
and projects; I'm also the College webmaster and hold various vendor certifications from
Microsoft and Novell. An important responsibility is to assist with educational
technology resources, and I am here to learn more about the issues and directions in which
our energies should be pointed. Outside of work, I'm the mother of three girls ages
17, 10 and 5. My husband George is a professor of nutritional sciences here at
UIUC.
