Professional Learning as a Student

Over the last two years, I have been working towards completing my Master of Science in Multidisciplinary Studies from SUNY Buffalo State University, Buffalo, New York. As part of this programme, I have completed a variety of courses with a focus on leadership, creativity, and holistic education. Below are some of the materials I have created for these courses. Note that some courses such as the creativity courses we completed were more practical so we didn't create digital resources for these courses.
