Describe Your Educational Career Progression
I have spent the majority of my professional life in the arena of technology. My journey first started with a degree in television production. After working for a local television station for almost 5 years, I decided to pursue an educational career. Once I received my educational degree, I attended to gravitate towards the technology end of teaching. I spent many years teaching in the Texas prison system using the computer lab to teach Texas offenders to receive their GED. Once I started in the public school system, 10 years later, I was placed, after one year, teaching keyboarding skills and basic Microsoft office skills to middle school kids. This led to me creating a course in Introduction to Mass Communications for middle school students.

There were to many career paths that I liked, but it always seemed to me that in order to follow one I would have to give up the rest.…
