A work in development, the following portfolio is designed to serve as a professional development tool as I navigate through my current position as a mid-level manager and my studies as a doctoral student. Much of what you'll see relates to higher education administration--my day-to-day experiences, news, projects musings, reflections and research ideas. I am continuously looking ahead and am focused on taking the appropriate steps towards reaching my desired goal of assuming a senior student affairs officer position at the conclusion of my doctoral work. Determining what steps and actions are needed to reach these goals is an ongoing measure that will be documented here in this portfolio. My challenges will be highlighted as well as successes and failures. Along the way, it is my hope that viewers of this portfolio can contribute thoughts and ideas, can provide constructive feedback and serve as sources of inspiration and innovation. I seek to be inspired by those who have already been there and will tap into the resources available to me that will better inform my work, decision-making and professional development.
