CareerEd Group Video
CCHE 650, Social Entrepreneurship in Higher Education, culminated in a group project outlining a current challenge facing higher education. Career readiness upon graduation is a pressing challenge many students experience and is what our group chose to focus on. I strongly feel a blend of education and work experience creates qualified graduates and employees.
In many cases, students work jobs they do not intend to make a career but offer flexibility during completion of their education. To solve the issue of limited industry experience, we created CareerEd, an internship and apprenticeship program that places students in organizations related to their field of study. These experiences increase exposure and work experience by applying didactic knowledge to a specific industry, making them career ready. This project exemplifies my passion for educating students in both the classroom and workplace while stimulating life long learning and empowerment.

Community College Proposal - PowerPoint Presentation
This PowerPoint Presentation is a project I completed for CCHE 580, The Community College. It is a proposal for a new community college in southern San Diego emphasizing effective communication skills. I am passionate about educating students in verbal, written, and social media communication techniques that reflect professional language necessary in the work-place.
This proposal emphasizes communication training throughout pursuit of an Associate's degree in fields which offer employment in southern San Diego. It also discusses improving the achievement gap present in San Diego, funding, and staffing solutions necessary to consider as a leader in higher education.
