Personal Statement
My interest lies in a faculty and/or administrative position within an organization that not only offers flexibility
and the opportunity to assume increasingly important responsibilities, but also provides learning situations
with exposure to the many facets of that organization. My skills include academic preparation and practical
experiences which result in a breadth of knowledge regarding learning and development, instructional
strategies, as well as educational law, administration, policy studies, higher education, and multicultural
education. Administrative experiences have afforded me the opportunity to demonstrate leadership skills
through the administration of academic and professional units, procuring and managing small and large
grants, in addition to the management of a research- development-training center. My high regard for inquiry
has resulted in many publications.
I am most comfortable in an academic environment in which students are considered central to the
educational organization. The institution's goals, moreover, must include helping all students to recognize
and utilize their positive attributes, thereby directing them toward goal attainment and academic achievement.
