Professional Development


As a professional and doctoral candidate in higher education, enhancing my professional activities affords me the opportunity to explore and advance my knowledge, my skills, and my career.  Facilitating and attending professional development workshops allows me to share and gain knowledge that can translate to the community college classroom.  Creating a professional development plan focuses my efforts on better serving the community college student.
