In London, I worked as a medical secretary/personal assistant to six psychiatrists in a mental health unit for four years and, before working here at Shoreline Community College, I worked at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance in the intake team, assisting new patients.

I grew up in a very multicultural family and have also travelled extensively and really enjoy learning about different cultures/visiting new countries. My passions are singing, playing the guitar, travelling, baking and swimming.

I really enjoy helping people and problem solving and am very excited to be able to put these qualities into action while working at Shoreline Community College. I am looking forward to learning new skills and meeting new people.”

A consortium of 12 colleges and related organizations from the UK will be visiting SCC this week to learn about our Virtual College Initiative.  While the use of eLearning is growing in education and industry globally, there is a large skills gap in the UK for the design and development of high quality online classes and training despite a big demand from education and industry.  The folks from the UK will be here to learn best practices around eLearning and discuss possible collaborations.  If you would like to be involved in the visit, please contact Ann Garnsey-Harter at agarnsey@shoreline.edu .
