About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Susan , thank you for your comments. This is so true; we do not want to be an instructor who has 1 year of experience repeated 20 times, we want to be an instructor with 20 years of experience. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
