Service
“There’s no greater purpose than service to others.”— Nick Nolte
Aside from teaching, research, and instructional design, one other purpose of an academic is to serve others passionately. Using my strengths and abilities, I have had the privilege of serving others in various capacities, giving me the opportunity to learn more about myself and to discover other areas I can be of service to the academic community. Below is a list of the few relevant acts of service I have offered.
