Q: Why was it important for you to work at Delaware Tech?
“I have seen firsthand the impact a degree from Delaware Tech can have on a family’s quality of life. I want to help people achieve a better circumstance for themselves through education.”
Q: What changes have you seen in yourself since you started working here?
“I am a much more patient person. I also now tend to be more team oriented.”
Q: What hobbies or interests do you have outside of the College?
“I am an avid reader. I love being outdoors (hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, sailing). I am also passionate about watching and playing soccer.”
Q: What’s something people may not know about you?
“I spent two months teaching English to elementary aged children in the Korogocho neighborhood of Nairobi, Kenya.”
Q: Do you have any future goals?
“Professionally I would like to become much more familiar with all of our programs collegewide. This is something I am working toward now in my new role as Assessment Coordinator for the Stanton Campus. Personally I would like to circumnavigate DelMarVa on a sailboat and I would like to through-hike the 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Shenandoah National Park.”
