WHO AM I ?
I'm a university faculty member in a Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) program. I love my field of work, even if some days are harder than others. My personal professional goals include:
-
Engaging learners with my passion for knowledge to improve the lives of people, families, and communities,
-
Educating students about real-world applications of family science and career opportunities in the field of family science, and
-
Empowering students and community members to become lifelong learners and critical consumers of information.
I created this site to help all HDFS students and students in similar fields prepare for work that is focused on people and families. The views on this blog and website are entirely my own, based on my own experiences and opinions. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of my current or former workplaces. Also, I make no guarantees about the outcomes of taking advice on this website. It is simply my opinion, and everyone has to make their own choices that are best for them.
