Sharon has been teaching Community Education classes for 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 in the early 80s. She learned to use her first computer for writing projects she was working on -- and she was hooked. She completed the Management Information Systems 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. Because Sharon also works on computer projects for area businesses, she can show the students practical applications for software programs in the workplace.

Join Sharon for one of her many computer classes (starting on pg. 53).

He has studied with Fong Ha – a widely respected instructor living in Berkeley, CA – who teaches world-wide. Jay has been certified to teach Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan by Fong Ha since 2012.
