| Biography: | I teach with a focus on the diversity of technology platforms, from vintage systems to emerging cloud tools. My work emphasizes equitable access to everything from wearable tech to high-performance computing, and the inclusion of legacy systems in modern design. As curator of the Museum of Technology, I preserve the cultural inclusivity of computing history so every era—past, present, and future—has a place in the story of IT. In addition, I serve as the IT Student Internship Coordinator and can assist you in finding a qualified intern to meet your organization's IT needs, with attention to the diversity of technology skills and equitable access to professional opportunities. I am also a faculty member of the Ӱ Center for Cybersecurity Education and Applied Research (CCEAR), whose mission is to educate a diverse and inclusive future cybersecurity workforce and provide consultation to local businesses, government entities, and other interested parties, ensuring equitable access to cybersecurity resources and expertise. Please contact me if you have any vintage technology—such as computers, peripherals, phones, consoles, or similar items—that you would like to donate or loan to our museum. My students are eager and willing to restore your tech and preserve it for future generations. You can reach us at MoT@mga.edu, tina.ashford@mga.edu, or visit /computing/technology-museum/index.php |
