====Work==== | |||
I am an [[Adult education|adult educator]] at a community college in the [[United States]], and also do some consulting work for developmental and service-learning programs for adult learners. I have numerous years international experience, dispersed through [[Latin America]], [[Micronesia]], and [[Haiti]], and it has marked all I do. | I am an [[Adult education|adult educator]] at a community college in the [[United States]], and also do some consulting work for developmental and service-learning programs for adult learners.

====Academic interests==== | |||
On one level, my academic interests combine adult education, community-based development, and globalization studies, with a particular focus on [[Global South]]/[[Global North]] interplays, including the role of technology. On another perhaps more important level, I am interested in the learning theories and teaching techniques that facilitate the highest possible learning outcomes for every misprepared and second language student, and am a very ardent student of my students. On still another level, my interests are very broad, and knowledge fascinates me. To me, the best educators are experts in their field but also very well-rounded, and I try to be that. | |||
====Education==== | |||
I am working toward a doctorate in Literacy from the University of Cincinnati. Prior, I was awarded an M.Ed. in Adult Learning and Global Change from the University of British Columbia,[http://www.edst.educ.ubc.ca/programs/algc.html] and prior that graduated highest-awarded in my class from Florida Atlantic University Honors College[http://www.fau.edu/divdept/honcol/awards_2003.html][http://www.honorscollege.edu] with concentrations in [[anthropology]] and [[political science]]. | |||
I have contributed to Suzanne T. Bell and Yukiko Inoue, ''Educational Technology in the 21st Century: The Case of the Asia Pacific Region,'' and several minor publicatons. | ====Publications==== | ||
My principle focus to date is on practice, including tailored curriculum writing for programs, not academic research publishing. Given that, I have contributed to Suzanne T. Bell and Yukiko Inoue, ''Educational Technology in the 21st Century: The Case of the Asia Pacific Region,'' and several minor publicatons. | |||
Given the above, I hope the answer to the question of why I am involved with Citizendium is evidently clear. In short, educators should want high quality, neutral, and free educational resources available to all, and Citizendium holds great promise in these regards. ''Educators educate''. | ====Why am I here?==== | ||

Recreationally, I enjoy the outdoors and am a lifelong [[sportfishing|sportfisherman]], both fresh and salt water, and boast several 10 pound [[largemouth bass]] and one nearly 15 pounds. Indoors, I like films of every genre, particularly [[science fiction]]. I also enjoy a great variety of music and am a multi-instrumentalist since childhood, having enjoyed some performing success as a bass guitarist. | Recreationally, I enjoy the outdoors and am a lifelong [[sportfishing|sportfisherman]], both fresh and salt water, and boast several 10 pound [[largemouth bass]] and one nearly 15 pounds.

If I show up at an article you've been working on and decide to become substantially involved with it ''as an author'', know that I am a perfectionist and am envisioning the day when our approved articles are independently evaluated side-by-side with Britannica's and Wikipedia's. | If I show up at an article you've been working on and decide to become substantially involved with it ''as an author'', know that I am a perfectionist and am envisioning the day when our approved articles are independently evaluated side-by-side with Britannica's and Wikipedia's. | ||
