Education

I attended Worcester Vocational Technical School, majoring in Machine Tool Technology.  I went immediately into industry upon graduation.  When transitioning to teaching I attended Fitchburg State University, studying Occupational Education.

Throughout my career, I have attended several seminars, conferences, and specialized training events relevant to my employment, to enhance my skills, and remain current in new skills/technology.  Prior to teaching, I received specialized training in ISO9001, Internal Auditing, FDA Quality System Regulations, and Regulatory Affairs.  I have also attended many manufacturing seminars and relevant training to remain current in the advancements in manufacturing.
