Profile
I have completed my course work for my PHD in Educational Leadership through northern Arizona University in 2009. Retired from Show Low High School where I taught US History for 8 years. Prior to this I was appointed as the Training & Staff Development Administrator for the Trial Courts of Maricopa County in July 2003 after serving as the Training Coordinator for Maricopa County Limited Jurisdiction Courts since March 2002. I served over 22years in the United States Army as a Military Police Officers, and retired as a First Sergeant. I have had a successful 20 year training background, having written numerous training programs, most significantly is Improving One-on-One Training. I hold a Masters in Education with Ottawa University. I received a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. I have been adjunct faculty with Mesa Community College in the Judicial Studies program for over 10 years. I hold certificates from the Arizona Dept. of Education in teaching Career & Technical Education, Business & Marketing, Adult Education, and Secondary Education in History & Business. I continue to learn with two organizations, National Association of State Judicial Educators and the American Society of Training and Development, along with additional college classes. All of my education was accomplished part-time at nights while I worked full-time and was taking care of an ageing parent. So I know the difficulties you face while taking classes, so please be in contact with me throughout the course.
