Education

Education happens in a variety of ways. I have learned both in the classroom and in the real world, and I look to continue my education throughout my life. I understand that I have much to learn, and will have to continuously be open to new ideas, concepts, and perspectives to be the best public servant I can be.

CERTIFICATES

I have augmented my education in the form of Certifications. These certificates range from on the job leadership training to a specified focus in advanced international affairs.

LIFELONG LEARNING

I enjoy learning new things. I have actively gone from topic to topic in my free time in a pursuit to increase my knowledge base for both professional and personal reasons. Up to this point I have taken additional lessons in piano, baritone, and saxophone. I have tried my hand at cooking, it turned out ok, and have looked in to languages.

This section describes my future ambitions when it comes to lifelong learning and what I hope to achieve.
