Walden University Professional Development Plan
I did not understand the value and the importance of education until I migrated to America. Coming to America, not only did I get culture shock, but I realized that I could not survive in this country without education. However, to raise my children, I would not rely on the government. I had to start from the beginning by learning ABCs, words, and grammar. This was very difficult to do because I already had my Master’s in Mathematics from my native country. I received my Associate of Science in Mathematics in June 2002 at Los Angeles City College. I continued my education and received my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in June 2006 at Cal State University. It took me years and years finally get to where I am today.

I have enjoyed my experiences working at some extraordinary teaching positions in the Mathematics field. My resume is as diverse as it can get, anywhere from working as a tutor at Los Angeles City College to a Mathematics instructor at Los Angeles Mission College, American Career College and in DeVry University. I look forward to continuing training with a positive attitude towards becoming a Dean to mentor my students and teachers. My goal and focus is the student’s outcome.

I had to come up with a concrete plan; my children had a mother, and still integrate my professional goals into everyday life. I’ve set goals and wanted to make sure I did not stress and burn-out myself. I needed to establish a formal structure to ensure success. I made time for self-evaluation, reflection, and affirmation, keeping in mind that time-management skills were a must in the
