After years of successfully fulfilling the numerous job-position duties and roles of Program Coordinator (2003-present) & Fieldwork Coordinator (2003-2008) of the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program, I am seeking a full-time instructional position at Suffolk County Community College. My years at Suffolk have been emotionally rewarding and filled with professional and personal growth. I would like to continue that growth in serving the College more aligned to where my skills and interests lie: in the classroom, serving on committees where I can be assistance regarding Assessment (ACOTE and Middle States) for many more years to come, where serving as Program Coordinator has prevented me from doing so. Therefore, I am seeing a full-time teaching position in the Health Careers area at Suffolk County Community College
