All about ME!

UPDATED June 09, 2003!

I am working for Beaumont Hospital

3601 W. Thirteen Mile Rd.
Royal Oak, MI 48073

The department that I work in is THE CLIENT SERVICE BEAUMONT REFERENCE LAB. (BRL) 


I am a fully professional, thoroughly studied, very cute computer pro.  The subjects I specialize in:

I am a private tutor now.  I graduated in June of 1998 with an Associate of Business Information Systems degree from Oakland Community College and am fully qualified to assist most students in the above subjects.  I have experience working with  ESL, mentally disabled and "temporarily disadvantaged" students during my four years as a tutor.  In time, I'd like to get a bachelor's in computer science, and I continue to study in order to reach this goal.

Disabled woman helps fellow students

Students Adriana Curtis and Connie DePalma help each other a lot recently at Oakland Community College at Royal Oak campus. Curtis 27, is physical challenged, with no arms, yet she works as an $8.30-an-hour computer tutor while studying for an O.C.C. degree in Business Information Systems. She tutors DePalma, 32, a mother of five who admits she computer-challenged. "I'd be lost without her" said DePalma, of Clawson. And Curtis, of Royal Oak, said she'd be lost without students to tutor. At first glance, Curtis might seem an unlikely tutor for instruction in computers. She has fixed fusion in her knees, plus the congenital limb condition phocomelia. Her hands virtually sit on her shoulders. But they work just fine. Bending over from her wheelchair, Curtis set down a sheaf of paper she carried in one hand and grabbed a mouse to show DePalma how to fill in a spreadsheet. In her other hand, she held a small metal case for her calculator and her new business cards. The card identifies her as a "computer consultant" with a pager number and an E-mail address. 


I do my own business cards up on my own computer too.
