I received a BBA in Accounting and Computer Science from the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) in Conway, AR. I worked as an Accountant for 2 years before deciding to go to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) and obtain a MS in Computer Science. In 1997, I was hired by Conway Adult Education Center and UCA, where I worked part-time teaching at both places. In January 1999, I was hired as a full-time Instructor at the University of Central Arkansas teaching Computer Science courses.
