I am an Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems at the Great Valley School of Professional Studies of the Pennsylvania State University. I received a B.S. and a Master in Finance from Universidad Metropolitana (Venezuela) and a D.B.A. from Boston University. I also studied at UNIS, La Salle La Colina, and Universidad Central de Venezuela. I have three basic streams of research: (1) developing a better understanding of how Technology Mediated Communications differ from face-to-face communications, (2) the design of Resource Management Information Systems (ex. AIS, ERP), and (3) the Digital Divide or the differences in usage, implementation, and application of IS/IT between developing and developed countries. I teach MIS, Strategy, and Accounting at the graduate level. I am also a Notary Public in Pennsylvania.

I have worked in places like Vencred, PDVSA, INELECTRA, Oster de Venezuela , COBOL, COPAN, and Tercer Medio as a programmer, financial analyst, manager, and CIO. I am or have been a consultant to companies like Software de Venezuela, CAUTUS, Maraven, US Feed Grain Council, US Meats, American Soybean Association , Banco Central de Venezuela, and Academia Nacional de Ciencias Economicas.
