I am currently a teaching specialist in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI. My office is located in 1107 Engineering Building. My Fall 2012 office hours are MW 2-4 p.m.

My primary duties and responsibilities include instruction and curriculum development of CSE 101 (Computing Concepts and Competencies). I am also involved in training and supervision of undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants assigned to CSE 101, coordinating of lab sections, serving on department committees, and participating in outreach.

Prior to my current MSU appointment, I worked for ten years as a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI. I taught courses such as CSC 0900 (Office Applications), CSC 1000 (Intro to CS), CSC 1100 (Computer Science I), CSC 2110 (Computer Science II), and CSC 5991 (Special Topics: Mobile Application Development Using Android). I also served as a director of WSU Computer Literacy Program, advised undergrad CS majors, evaluated undergrad CS transfer courses, organized/participated-in outreach activities, and sponsored WSU ACM-Women student chapter

Even though I got a Masters degree in Computer Science (Wayne State University, 2001), and I still love programming, my main interests have shifted more towards computer science education. More specifically, I am interested in early CS courses pedagogy, online learning, outreach, and improving the under-representation of women.

Outside of CS, I love travel, art in its broadest sense, and food.
