Academic Experience
Learning and Living
Being a lifelong learner is a trait that is really important to me, and I know that a good education is not just for the schoolyard. Some lessons were learned in the traditional way, while others I have received from professional mentors, industry professionals, and in some cases, friends and family. I’d love the opportunity to talk to you about how my academic background could benefit your organization.
