who am I?
I'm an Instructional Technology trainer and a freelancer living in New York, USA.
My career in Instructional Technology began when I started working for the Center for Teaching and Learning at LaGuardia Community College on September 2001. Before working at LaGuardia, I studied for Associate's degree in Programming and Systems. From September 2001 through July 2007, I held the positions of part-time Student Technology Mentor, part-time Instructional Design Assistant, part-time Instructional Design Associate, and full-time Instructional Design Consultant. After receiving my Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems Technology from the New York City College of Technology; I was promoted to Technology and Pedagogy Program Associate.
I took a break from the Instructional Technology sector from August 2007 to January 2013 for personal reasons. On February 2013 I joined the Center for Teaching, Learning & Technology at Bronx Community College as the Instructional Technology Training Assistant.
At LaGuardia Community College I facilitated several workshops per semester delivered to both students and faculty, among which, ePortfolio and Digital Storytelling were key topics. Other topics included audio & video editing and using graphics & other software. At Bronx Community College the workshops are mostly concentrated on Blackboard Course Management System, Digication ePortfolio and MS Office, and the audiences are limited to faculty and professional staff only.
Aside from work projects, I have also done several freelance web sites for various clients in New York. Bringing a campaign online, creating a design concept, or locking myself away to HTML codes are all passions of mine. I'm well-organized, acutely careful with details, and driven by learning new software. I get a high level of satisfaction from taking a project from the initial idea to completion. Being a graphic designer has enhanced my HTML skills by helping me think more creatively and abstractly about code. Coding has made my graphic design skills stronger by allowing me to see the complete picture, so I can embrace the internet's limitations, and take advantage of new technologies.

Web Design
Below is a collection of web sites that I have worked on. Some of these sites were created at the very beginning of my web development career and some were created later, therefore some are very basic and some are advanced. Many of these sites are no longer maintained by me and therefore may not be available as shown here. If you would like to know more about a particular site, feel free to contact me.
