Shawn Flower:  

ects and lectured a course in the fall of 2002. Prior to and concurrent with my work at the university, I have been employed in administrative and support positions since I left the banking and collection industries when I moved from San Francisco in 1989. Since 1997, on a part time basis, I worked for Spacelink International, a small family run satellite communications company in Washington DC, however, I left that position in June 2003. Before Spacelink I worked as a Legal Secretary in a tax litigation law firm for 5 years, and I worked as an Administrative Assistant to a higher education attorney for 2 years in the early 1990s. While I lived in San Francisco I spent two and a half years as a bill collector. Prior to that, I had been in the banking industry for seven years - a part time job that I began in my senior year at McAteer which turned into a full time position after graduation.
