I have taken various other courses related to career or professional development. I don't feel that it's necessary that I go into much more detail about this. However, you can see that I have a wide breadth of training and experience. I am finding that a lot of my administrative and technologist training is giving me advantages on my courses. Some of the information I am learning, I have learned before but just haven't used. Some things I am learning, are brand new and/or just a different way of looking at the topic.
