Welcome, Welcome Welcome!!!

      After completing four semesters of MS in Instruction Design and Technology, I can do longer say that I am a newcomer to the field. Ever since I started my Associate's degree in Journalism and Communication, I have always been fascinated with how instructors do what they do to keep students engaged in learning. Although I continued and successfully completed a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication, the desire to facilitate never wavered and I was able to earn a Master's in Adult Education.
      Throughout the years, I have always held some capacity in facilitating, whether it was mentoring new hires or developing a departmental guide. In an attempt to further my personal and professional development, I have embarked on this journey to not only expand my knowledge but to also foster a relationship with those in my field and use their experience as a guide in my own exploration.
      I am originally from Trinidad and Tobago, however, I currently reside in Little Rock Arkansas with my five (soon to be six) year old daughter Jazara. I am currently employed at Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield as a Customer Service Representative for the Blue Advantage National Accounts. Outside of work, I occupy my time by participating in crossfit activities, marathons, crafting wreaths and door hangers and also gift baskets for any occasion.
      I thank you for following me as I journey and share my thoughts for the duration of this course!!!
