I have been a chemistry instructor at Fullerton College since 1996. I acted as the department coordinator for about four years and presently doing what I do best: teaching chemistry courses. I was a participant in a chemistry grant at CSUF that uses web-delivered tools in chemistry and am a WATChDOG (Web Assisted Tools in Chemistry Developers Online Group). I was also involved in FLASH, a NSF grant consortium of chemistry instructors in the Western United States and brought money to Fullerton College to build a chemistry computer studio and implement web-based material in our chemistry courses. I try to stay current in chemistry and hope to be involved in more grants in the future.

I have been actively involved in web-based instruction for quite some time. I have been using online components in my courses even before I started working at Fullerton College. I used the WebCT server at UCLA prior to Fullerton College and implementing it here too. I have used it every semester since 1996. I have taught both hybrid and on campus courses in the past, but for now, all of my courses are web-enhanced. I have recently employed the use of clickers in my classes and find that it is a very useful tool.

I was a California Virtual Campus mentor at Fullerton College in the past and have taught both beginning and advanced Camtasia workshops at the CVC. I have acted as the online coordinator and instructional designer on and off in the past as well. In the past I developed pages for OTEC (the Online Teaching Effectiveness Center) and am trained faculty in various uses of the online environment and WebCT. I have taken several workshops and was actively involved in trainer certification through the CVC and industry. Currently I am enjoy teaching chemistry, but look forward to taking a sabbatical someday soon and entering the research arena again.
