Ms. Ukadike is a former Instructor of Business and Information Technology at Piedmont Technical College (PTC), Greenwood, SC, where she taught computer technology and business courses for 5 years (2007-2012). She obtained her Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Lander University, Greenwood SC, (1993), and Master's degree in Business Administration from Ashworth University, Norcross, GA., (2007). Prior to becoming an educator, she spent 18 years in corporate accounting, governmental, and nonprofit accounting where she worked as a Controller, Director of Accounting, and General Manager. Despite her passion for accounting, while in graduate school, she spent a significant amount of time in advanced research and studies of instructional computing technologies, management information systems, and technical writing as part of her chosen program of study. Determined to pursue her interest in technology, upon obtaining an MBA Degree in 2007, she left the corporate world and joined the faculty and staff at PTC as an Instructor to teach the business and computer courses she had been passionate about. During her time at PTC, in delivering her daily lectures, she saw first-hand, how her students struggled with the current text book in use at the time, which had incomplete instructional steps for performing basic computer tasks. With the strong desire to help her student learn common basics of technology, she decided to write a very simplified book on basic computing to facilitate easier hands-on learning for the new beginners. She provided her students handouts at the end of each class session with complete steps to help them do their homework. With authorization from PTC Senior Management, in 2011 & 2012 consecutively, Ms. Ukadike published 1st and 2nd editions of "Basic Computing Concepts-A simplified Approach" through McGraw-Hill Learning Solutions as custom books for the college - inspired by her students and written for her students.
