I will be retiring from my position as a Computer Graphic Technology (COGT) professor/program coordinator at Kankakee Community College (KCC). My last day on campus will be December 11, 2026, and retirement date of 1/1/2027.

Teaching at the community college level has been an incredibly rewarding chapter of my career. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I have had to guide my students in developing their visual and technical skills, collaborating with dedicated colleagues while contributing to the growth of the COGT and STEM programs and the Technology Department.

During my tenure, here are a few of my KCC highlights:

• Creating the KCC Innovation Lab.
• Creating and implementing three Applied STEM classes: STEM Guitar, STEM Guitar II – Acoustic, 3D Printing and 3D Technologies.
• Expanding the KCC COGT software classes from five software programs to twenty-four software programs.
