This week we continue with our Ed4Career Staff Series - sharing our fantastic team member's stories and backgrounds in order to allow you a glimpse of the people and talent behind the Ed4Career brand.
The following letter is from Dr. Laura Quinn, an integral part of Ed4Career's curriculum design team.
"I have been working in curriculum design with Ed4Career for almost two years. I currently work as a senior curriculum designer with the Health and Human Services (HHS) courses. I have my Master degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and my Doctorate in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. I worked with clinical populations and in non-profits for many years as a therapist and program manager, but my love has always been training. My research was in leadership development and continued education, and my doctoral focus was in organizational development. I find that training and design allows me to blend my love of cognitive science, neuropsychology, and being creative.
My husband is currently serving in the Navy (active duty). We have two children and a retired greyhound. In my spare time, I love to read, sketch, knit, run, hang out with my family, and spend time exploring what each new location we live in has to offer. In the coming year, I plan to brush up on my cognitive psychology as it applies to learning and continue to build my design skills.
The best thing about watching my kids learn and develop is that I get to watch them enjoy making new connections between knowledge and have those wonderful “aha” moments. We never stop having those. Our brain is an amazing organ capable of continuous growth and healing. Because of my love for neurology, my tip for students as they approach new or challenging endeavors is to use your brain to its full capacity."
