Hello LRND 6820

am a full time graduate student in LRND and hope to graduate in May 2011. I work in the Co-op office here at BGSU on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 – 5pm. My role in the Co-op office is to work with students to help them write their resumes, cover letters, and thank you letters, as well as preparing them for interviews. I also work with employers in developing co-op opportunities for our students. For the last 8 years I have worked part-time at Owens College, where I teach intro and intermediate photography and manage the lab. This semester I am on the Findlay Campus on Tuesday and Thursdays from noon – 9pm. I also work as a freelance photographer for myself as well as several photographers in and around Northwest Ohio. Before coming to BGSU I was the Director for the Henry County Arts Council (a non-profit) as well as an independent art enrichment instructor. As an Art Enrichment Instructor I provided art enrichment experiences for nursing homes, developmentally disabled residents, and elementary and middle school students. As the Director for the Henry County Arts Council I was responsible for all of the day to day activities, promoting and organizing activiities and events, as well as writing grants. After resigning from the HCAC to pursue my Masters degree I rejoined and was re-appointed as a board member. I am very interested in art and I believe that nurturing creativity is extremely important in the academic world. My goals are to further my career in higher education, including teaching and advising.
