I have over 40 years of experience working with computer systems in a variety of industries. My diverse background includes implementing ATM technology and WAN communications for Home Savings, automating and programming software for television game shows including “The Price is Right” and “Family Feud”, and developing enterprise messaging, managing network infrastructure, and facilitating company-wide technology projects for Simpson Investment Company. I earned my Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credential while participating in usability studies and think tanks for Microsoft while living in Seattle. In the non-profit sector, I have worked for the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, and as a board member of the Lassen Park Foundation. I have worked for the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, Inc. since 2006, and am currently the Director of Information Technology. In 2016, I chaired the IT committee for the Association of Auxiliaries, AOA, working with over 90 CSU support organizations statewide. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and an Associate’s degree from Pierce College. In addition, I maintain certifications as a Project Management Professional with PMI, and a Strategic Project Leader.
