The field of Information Technology lends itself to be a part of many activities. These can range from professional development to certifications to presentations on a particular topic. Some of these things have been mentioned throughout this portfolio. Several more are listed below.

​

Over the last 9 years at Ivy Tech, I have had the opportunity to participate as a speaker at national seminars, participate in nation-wide curriculum input for both the computer science and cybersecurity topic areas, and reviewed textbooks. You can see my name highlighted on page 6 of one of the textbooks I reviewed at the link on the left.
