Education/Career Goals

Cultivating a career in either disability services or advocacy in the public or corporate sector.

Before the Program

After a long career in banking, I embarked on a career change by attending CSU East Bay and ultimately was awarded a BA in Sociology.  While getting a MA was not directly in my overall plan, circumstances prevailed that made furthering my education a viable option.

Thesis

My thesis is centered on an evaluation of the LiveScribe Echo smartpen; a tool provided by Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC) at Humboldt to assist those with either physical or cognitive issues that impact their note-taking abilities.  The evaluation also extends to the effectiveness of the LiveScribe training program at SDRC.

Why Humboldt Public Sociology

I spent a fair amount of time in my banking career as a corporate trainer thus the teaching option within the Sociology program presented a strong appeal.  On my first visit to the campus, it just felt like it was the right choice.

Favorite place to see/visit in Humboldt County

While Humboldt County is blessed with amazing beauty, the ocean in my default choice when I am in need of a ‘recharge’.
