Hello NOVA!

I am so excited to be a part of the Alexandria Campus Team.  I wanted to share a little bit of my background:

I have been teaching  Technology Education and Integration for 13 years in Prince Georges County, Maryland and Washington, DC.  Prior to teaching, I  worked as an Associate Producer at CNN’s Washington Bureau, where I worked on the weekend talk shows, including “Both Sides with Jesse Jackson.” I have been able to integrate my production skills into my career as an Instructional Technologist by developing student operated television studios where  students learned how to gather news, write scripts and broadcast the morning announcements. I am a  professed “news junkie” . When I’m not  watching TV-news, I am creating beautiful cards and scrapbook layouts in my craft studio.  I look  forward to sharing my production skills with the NOVA Community.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Patricia (not Pat) Cooper
