One of the things I find most rewarding is mentoring. For at least ten years, people have sought me out for advice on personal and professional challenges. I have helped students navigate college, young women advocate for themselves at work, and colleagues recognize strengths to be more effective at their jobs. I have almost always had a supervisory position and I really enjoy working with the staff I manage to enhance their stronger skills and develop others.
Professional Development is very important to me. I’m constantly seeking new ways to improve my skills or gain new skills. A few of the courses I’ve done are below. If you know of any upcoming professional development opportunities I may be interested in, please let me know!
