Higher education is an area in which I have a very strong interest. It is a field in which I have worked for over eight years. My successes and interests have led me to want to continue my career in this area. A mentor of mine once suggested that I could achieve higher levels in academia through the acquisition of an Ed. D. As a result, I am providing myself with the opportunity to learn more about higher education through taking courses at Texas A&M University – Commerce. Currently, I am not quite sure where I will take my next professional step in academia. Since the explosion of the Internet is having a huge impact on higher education and libraries I am exploring my options in academic librarianship, administrative, instruction, or instructional technology. My desire is to take several educational technology courses in this program in order to be technologically savvy and know more about the various opportunities that educational technology will have in the future of higher education.
Current and Future Goals
I have several current and future goals:
- Complete my doctoral degree at Texas A&M University-Commerce
- Upon completion of my doctoral degree, obtain a position which will continue to maximize my potential in the field of higher education.
- Become proficient in Geographic Information Systems at Texas A&M University – Commerce.
- Learn a computer programming language in order to extend my technological knowledge.
- Learn the hardware components of the inside of a computer and how to install them in order to create machines which are the most functional for individuals.
