The advancement of technology, especially in the world of academia, is extremely important in helping people earn a job, retain their current jobs, or advance in their fields. Without this option, many people could not go to school. I applaud the option of earning a degree online and feel this industry can only improve upon this great need. I am very excited to be a part of the SPC faculty. I have a Master's Degree in Entrepreneurship from the College of Business at Western Carolina University (AACSB certified), a Master's Degree in Human Resources Management from Rasmussen University, a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from the University of Phoenix, and an Associate in Arts from St. Petersburg College. Both graduate degrees were achieved completely online, and my undergraduate degree was completed partially on-ground and partially online. As a military veteran, I learned the determination needed to achieve the goals I set for myself. After being honorably discharged from the United States Air Force in 2000, I entered the business world as a licensed mortgage broker, licensed real estate agent, and small business owner. As an online learner, military veteran, and active member of the local business community, I have the real-world and scholastic experience to relate and help you through difficulties you may encounter. I am excited to be your instructor!
