In July we received the sad news that Independence University was closing. Working at Independence was a lovely experience – phenomenal supervisors and amazing colleagues made the job a true pleasure.

Now it’s time to send out the resumes and look for a new position. Updating my resume has been an eye-opening experience. I don’t always take the time to look at just what I’ve accomplished in my career.

It also reminds me of the many wonderful colleagues and students I’ve worked with.

While I’m sad at leaving, I’ve also realized how each new position has been a wonderful opportunity to grow my skills set and meet people from so many different walks of life.

I am continually inspired by both my colleagues and students; seing them overcome challenges that would floor most of us reminds me that my future positions will allow me to both learn new skills but also to meet many new and exciting people. I can’t wait to get started!
