Education

I graduated with a Master’s in Educational Computing from Buffalo State College and a BFA from the University at Buffalo, with a concentration in Photography. At the time of my undergrad graduation, I was unsure in pursuing my education any further because I didn’t feel confident in going for a Master’s in Fine Art. I formed my own business and continued to get seasonal or odd jobs to make up for a consistent income. I took an interest in everything multimedia, but I could never find the right job that would allow me to utilize all my knowledge and skills. I then got an opportunity of a lifetime, teaching at ITT in the Multimedia and CAD departments. This position allowed me to share my knowledge with the faculty and students, and also allowed me to progress in my comprehension of various programs. I realized that since this was something I wanted to do, I would have to continue my education in order to move on to the university level.

After scouting different programs at various local schools, I decided on Buffalo State’s Educational Computing program. This program gave me the strength and knowledge to move into the field of Instructional Technology. I am now able to reach students and faculty with my knowledge and abilities. I really love learning and also giving back what I have learned. The program taught me more about myself and the possibilities for technology’s use in education. I look forward to all the possibilities of the future, such as pursuing a doctoral degree and publishing some of my thoughts on education.
