Kim Seefeld, MS, M.Ed. spent ten years working in biomedical
research laboratories collecting and analyzing data after finishing a
BS in Cell Biology from Michigan State. She understands the
difficulties in making sense of research data because she did it for a
long time. After doing all that wet lab work she moved out of the lab,
got a degree in computer science and worked as a software engineer.
Her programming skills are in many languages, including Perl, SQL, VB,
Java, and C/C++. She also taught programming in public school and at
the college level. She authored Java Programming Fundamentals,
a book about object oriented programming in Java because she likes to
explain difficulty technical concepts to a non-technical audience.
