My career, of over 20 years, has evolved between information technology,

teaching. I have learned and worked in Africa, Europe and the USA as part of my career path. I carry a wealth of experience in supervisory
and management from a variety of industries that include manufacturing, retail,
wholesale, banking/finance, marketing, service and public sector. Some of the highlights of my career include
positions as budget and planning manager, and information technology
manager/Y2K project manager for a Fortune 500 multinational company and
information systems consultant for a software house. I thoroughly enjoy
bringing all these experiences into the classroom and balance the theory
perspectives.
