I am currently working at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania as the IT Director of Student Experience. This position is a departure from the straight-up IT work I’ve been doing for the past 13 years, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to work more directly with our students.
My previous position at Wharton Computing was with the Alfred West Jr. Learning Lab and involved working with peers and faculty to create web and rich internet applications for use in the classroom.
I started out as an old-school COBOL/IMS programmer before moving on to establish the use of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing at a local hospital (sounds impressive, eh?).
More details are on LinkedIn.
I love technology and what it makes possible. I love that I’ve made friends (and met my husband) through blogging, that I can see the vacation and baby pictures of far-away college friends, and that my father, whose illness has taken away a lot of his vision and the use of his left arm, can still read because he has a Kindle. Technology should work for people, and not the other way around.
I live in Fishtown, Philadelphia.
