I'm a slug and proud of it—I have a degree in biology from UC Santa Cruz and a masters in educational technology from San Jose State University. In a former life I was a dental hygienist and clinical coordinator. In 1997, I helped open the Teaching and Learning Center at Cabrillo College and directed the distance education program for over 20 years. I also taught summer digital media online classes, and provided state-wide faculty professional development. I retired in 2021 after 28 years teaching in higher ed.
Today I volunteer as a docent in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. Because of this wonderful experience in the redwoods, I enrolled in a UC Climate Steward certification course to enhance discussions with the community about climate change. My favorite activities (besides hanging out with grandkids) are guided-hikes, leading school groups, and interacting with people in the Visitor's Center. |
