What are you currently working on?
I am currently working on an online Certificate Course that will educate Industry Professionals on how Public Service leaders manage organizational and program performance through risk management skills.

Share a recent accomplishment.

What is your favorite textbook writing tip or strategy?
My favorite writing strategy and tip is to always focus on the outcome and not so much the input, though that is important too.
