Interests and objectives
Although I earned my living as a computer programmer, my interests have always been in the humanities including how computer programming could enrich social and personal life. As the years went by, the work seemed to have less and less humanistic potential. I continued my humanistic studies.
In addition to the academic degrees I earned, I also studied psychoanalysis for 3 years at Westchester Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. My experience there contributed data for my Teachers College dissertation.
I am passionate about the importance of creative play for adults as well as for young persons, and one reason for learning more is to expand one's opportunities for imaginative play (enrich your semiotic inventory / toolkit).
I am looking for activity where I can contribute to enrichment of persons' lives such as tutoring or study groups, or other activity where my experience can contribute.
I am available most time during weekdays or early evenings.
