I am a doctoral candidate with experience in secondary and post secondary education. The reason I have spent my entire career in education is because I feel the greatest joy when I am teaching. I wholly enjoy being in the classroom and I am devoted to continually furthering my education so that I may be the best possible instructor for my students.
I have been fortunate in that I have been able to teach a range of students in secondary and post-secondary education. My experiences working in schools in rural West Virginia provided me with a deep understanding of the needs of various students, including low socioeconomic status and first generation college students. My work in online course development as a doctoral student, as well as my work as a co-instructor on online master’s courses, allowed me the opportunity to understand how technology can facilitate learning. My time as an adviser in the Center for Women’s studies taught me the intricacies of higher education academic planning.
I am highly motivated and organized in everything that I do. My experiences have given me a broad understanding of the best practices in education and my research has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of curriculum, assessment, academic planning, and advising. In addition, my knowledge of the secondary and post-secondary educational systems has provided me with the ability to assess the educational needs of students and construct my curriculum accordingly. This site is a collection of my experiences as a doctoral student and teacher, as well as my reflection on these experiences.
