I am a Navy Veteran, who spent 10 years as an enlisted. My highest grade in the Navy was E-4. Believe it or not my job title was Hull Maintenance Technician. My team was responsible for watertight integrity of the ship to include plumbing, firefighting, and welding. I lived on a repair ship. This provided many opportunities to travel along with fixing other ships while in port and at sea.
Upon separation, I began college at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. I graduated with a B.S. in Occupational and Technical Studies – the focus of my degree was in Training. My husband of 14 years is also Navy, however he did a 21-year career. We married in Virginia. Then we moved to Pennsylvania where we both obtained good employment. I got a job at a local tech school, but somehow it just was not enough. I went back to school and earned an MS in Education with a focus on Instructional Design for Online Learning. After several gigs teaching online, I f felt like something was missing in my repertoire. Media – that is what it was. I did not have the background in the design of education al media. Luckily, I found Full Sail University, and Full Sail has what I need. I believe upon completion of the is program, including my current course in Emergent Technologies in a Collaborative Culture, I will put all of my education in to a powerful portfolio to bring to the table of potential employers.
I welcome you to participate in my blog to discuss my family and the work I am doing at Full Sail University. Media design is one of my many passions I have found in the short time that I have been enrolled in the program; I have grown in the use of technology integrated in design.
