Lifelong Learning

 

I do mean lifelong learning.  I have spent the vast majority of my life attached to schools of some sort, and most of that time working on learning something.  I have so far received four degrees in four different subjects:

B.A. in Classical & Medieval Studies (1997)

Minor in Physics

Minor in Mathematics

M.A. in Linguistics (1999)

M.S. in Mathematics (Applied) (2002)

M.S. in Management Information Systems (MIS) (2003)

Doctoral Study in Mathematics (2002-2004)

B.A. in Philosophy (2009-2012)

M.A. in American History (2017-2020) -- in progress!

M.S. in Data Analytics (2017-?) -- in progress

Ph.D. in Computational and Data-Enabled Science and Engineering (2019-???) -- in progress

I also have a certificate in Mixology (2002).

But, I'm nowhere close to being finished! :)  I love learning, and my favourite subject by far is Astronomy,espeically the planets.  What I've wanted all my life, though, is my Ph.D. in Astronomy, and while I've been detoured a bit, I refuse to concede defeat on that score.  Finally, my CDSE program in Buffalo will allow me to get a bit closer as my dissertation is likely to involve geophysics.

Some people do accuse me of being a know-it-all.  But, I assure you, there are plenty of things I don't know much about... art appreciation really escapes me, as does economics. :)  Call me a Renaissance woman (though, I doubt there were any women in Renaissance like me, or call me a polymath (which I prefer), but one thing I can't be accused of is a lack of curiosity!

In addition to the information on subjects of special academic interest, you can find information on schools I've attended (for schools I've worked at, or am working at now, see my teaching portfolio).

There is one other topic of importance to me that might eventually get added to this academic list... a degree (probably a masters) in gifted education.  But, we have to have priorities.
