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.

Sandy, these are all great steps to take to demonstrate to our students that we want to help them. As you observed it's not a guarantee, but at least the students know you care & want to help them. Dr. Ryan Meers
