Day to Day
Every day is different in higher education because the core of my responsibility is nurturing students to become well educated professional adults. Every student is unique with their own set of strengths and weaknesses. I work with them to highlight the strengths and educate the weaknesses. I am able to teach a variety of classes every semester. I enjoy the summers off as well.
