Biography

Claudine was introduced to computer science for the first time in 1995 when she pursued a degree in computer studies in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Since then her interest in the field has led to various areas of research including, distributed systems (resulting in an MPhil completed at the St. Augustine campus of UWI in 2002), e-learning with an emphasis learning objects and software engineering with an emphasis on domain-specific modelling. Claudine completed her PhD at the UWI, Mona in 2012 where her focus was on object-oriented design principles and their applicability to learning object design and deployment. Claudine's career in the field includes work in the insurance industry as a systems administrator and IT manager and lecturer at the University of Technology for over 12 years. Her favorite past time is probably anything that involves being with her family. She is married to David and they have three amazing children, 2 boys Nick 11, and Andrew 8 and 1 girl, Annabelle 4.
