Welcome! The field of higher, professional and adult education seeks to prepare individuals to be lifelong learners, reflective in their practice and ethical in their private and professional lives. It is a mission to help others achieve their own personal goals by guiding them through the process of becoming competent in the field, while recognizing that they have a powerful role in contributing to the formation of character and values in our schools, community and country. In Hawaii , there exists special sensitivity to minority populations and the importance of designing and delivering programs cooperatively with the people served.

Designing literacy and communication programs for Second Language Learners for hotels in Hawaii and the marine industry in San Diego, including manuals for Workplace Literacy, Southwest Foundation Advisors and Advanced Etiquette is especially needed. Teaching online over 15 years in Teacher Credentialing, Masters of Education in Technology, Teaching and Learning and Educational Administration has proven rewarding and valuable. Designing online courses that focus on curriculum, research, diversity, and English as a Second Language.
