My work history begun as a Mathematics High School Teacher for Balboa High School in San Francisco. This was during the dot com boom in San Francisco and during my last year of teaching there, I was recruited to teach in the Communication Arts Academy. SFUSD gave Inner-city schools grants  to “Academies” to help “close” the Digital Divide, through incorporating the World Wide Web into the curriculums and rubrics. This is when the Internet started to interest me. After my three-year stint at Balboa, I was ready for a career change. I enrolled in Golden Gate University’s Master of Science, Ecommerce Program. After a year of Ecommerce; I realized that Business is what I wanted and I transferred to John F. Kennedy University and completed the M.B.A. Program there.
