Sharon has been teaching computer classes in Community Education classes for over two decades. After earning her Master's degree, Sharon did cytogenetic research at the University of Minnesota. Her interest in computers began when the first personal computers came on the market. She learned to use her first computer for writing resumes for clients -- and she was hooked. She completed the MIS program at the University of Minnesota. She found she enjoyed helping others learn how to use computer programs so teaching seemed a natural career path. She likes teaching adults in Community Education because the students have chosen to be there and are excited about learning new skills. Students are often looking to advance their careers and need to update their computer skills to get ahead. Because Sharon also works on computer projects for area businesses, she can show the students practical applications for software programs in the workplace
What students are saying"Sharon was so clear in her explanations. I never got lost and we so pleased to really feel like I could begin to use the software. ""I highly recommend Sharon for one-on-one training. She was patient and knowledgeable as I worked on becoming more proficient with Microsoft Word. " "Sharon is a great teacher for any inexperienced student."
