I am currently undertaking a postgraduate Certificate in Postsecondary Literacy Instruction at the University of Cincinnati[http://www.cech.uc.edu/programs_majors.php?p=program_detail&id=57] and will probably follow it with a PhD in the field. 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.honorscollege.edu] with concentrations in [[anthropology]] and [[political science]]. | I am currently undertaking a postgraduate Certificate in Postsecondary Literacy Instruction at the University of Cincinnati[http://www.cech.uc.edu/programs_majors.php?p=program_detail&id=57] and will probably follow it with a PhD in the field.

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.
