I am currently | I am currently working toward a doctorate in Literacy from the University of Cincinnati. Prior, I was awarded an M.Ed. in Adult Learning and Global Change from the University of British Columbia,[http://www.edst.educ.ubc.ca/programs/algc.html] and prior that graduated highest-awarded in my class from Florida Atlantic University Honors College[http://www.fau.edu/divdept/honcol/awards_2003.html][http://www.honorscollege.edu] with concentrations in [[anthropology]] and [[political science]]. | ||
On one level, my academic interests combine adult education, community-based development, and globalization studies, with a particular focus on [[Global South]]/[[Global North]] interplays, including the role of technology. On another perhaps more important level, I am interested in the learning theories and teaching techniques that facilitate the highest possible learning outcomes for every remediating and second language student, and am an ardent student of my students. On still another level, my interests are very broad, and knowledge fascinates me. To me, the best educators are experts in their field but also very well-rounded, and I try to be that. | On one level, my academic interests combine adult education, community-based development, and globalization studies, with a particular focus on [[Global South]]/[[Global North]] interplays, including the role of technology.
