Philosophy
Opportunities are everywhere; be observant and be
ready to take them.
Opportunities are needed everywhere;
be observant and be ready to offer them.
I have worked, learned, volunteered and just
goofed-off in a variety of educational settings including: public,
private, elementary, & secondary, college and university.
I enjoy the unique experiences and challenges associated with
working in the community college and most especially our
community college here in Polk County. The community college
- Polk Community College - is truly a reflection of our diverse
community's citizens and their needs. The student body here includes
the traditional freshmen, returning adults, working folks . .
. basically you can expect to meet up with anyone from eager
junior high school student (make that elementary student during
the summer "Kids at College" scene) to frazzled doctoral
candidate on any given day. There really is something for everyone
here and there is always something to keep us thinking, moving
and rediscovering our capabilities - and that is what I want
my life to be about.
