Knowledge.


Although I feel that my knowledge in student affairs is generally broad, I possess depth of knowledge in only the few areas. This depth grew from my areas of professional passion. Although I am credentialed as a high school teacher and have no desire to teach high school, I am still drawn to projects that place me in the classroom. Additionally, I enjoy the challenge of learning about something new and sharing that information with other practitioners at conferences. While at BGSU, I took elective courses in topics related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and found numerous opportunities to speak with professionals and students about ASD. I am well versed in the practices described in Kouzes and Posner’s (2008) The Student Leadership Challenge after teaching three sections of BGSU’s Leaders in Residence course. Following several years of coursework in education including College and University Teaching at BGSU, I know much about the importance of personal and relevant learning. Lastly, I believe strongly in promoting self-knowledge first in conversations of multicultural competence and know much about the power of this practice. These specific areas of knowledge have been a source of professional motivation and energy for me throughout my graduate career, and I hope to continue my growth in these areas.
