My Story
I was a North Greenville student, and my husband and I are thrilled that all four of our children were also students of NGU. We are proud of them and their accomplishments in completing their education. Because of our deep roots with the university, I was thrilled when the opportunity arose to teach in the Computer Science Department.
My Favorite Class to Teach: Teaching the Introduction to Information Technology course at North Greenville University has been my joy. I look forward to watching as students become enlightened and discover new ways to use technology. The coming years will surely add blessings to my life as I meet new students each year.
