Welcome to the Spring Semester, 2012


Let me briefly introduce myself... I am from California , USA, although I have lived in about 15 different states and have traveled to nearly all U.S. states. I conducted my graduate studies at East Carolina U. with a concentration in Library and Information Science. I have also studied information technology, computer science, Russian, Korean and other languages. I was a computer consultant and database analyst for many years. In the U.S., I am a certified teacher, certified public librarian, member of the Slavic Honor Society and International Mensa. I enjoy playing chess and I was a USCF certified chess coach, tournament director and rated Expert (2000+). My other interests include playing and creating quizzes on funtrivia.com, exploring technology and working on a variety of writing projects.
