Gandhi’s words have inspired and
guided my professional work

My Professional Life will be dedicated to
Prevention: It is extremely critical to invest in work that prevents later social ills, such as early childhood education and pre-natal care. I hope to identify and work with organizations that are invested in preventive work and methodologies.Research-based practice: It is vital that we operate programs with documented evidence of improvement; I want to ensure all organizations have the skills and knowledge to evaluate their programs and formulate measurable outcomes
Strengths-Based Practice: I believe it is necessary to build on the strengths of individuals, organizations and communities. I am committed to focusing on assets instead of the deficits to achieve positive macro change.

Lessons Learned• Highly diverse needs and interests on campus• The Open-Source Portfolio tools meets most campus
needs but needs work • Planning & design of ePortfolios is a catalyst for improving
programs & student learning• Best Practices should be identified early and often • Schools are benefiting from sharing best practices and
templates
• Challenges of managing expectations and the meaning of
the term “pilot”
