OK, So I know I'm super late to this thread, but I am playing catch up.  My name is Melissa Herder, I am a Special  Education teacher in Camden, NJ.

I am actually in my second year of the program here at WilmU, I had to repeat this class because I did not realize that when a teacher gives you the courtesy of an incomplete grade that you have to submit the work before the end of the next session.  I have never had an incomplete before, I guess I should have

Hello everyone! My name is Miriam Spells and I am currently working as a Nurse Recruiter for the University of Delaware School of Nursing Workforce Diversity Program. My job is to speak to/recruit underrepresented middle and high school students and tell them about the various career opportunities in nursing. I also tell them about the UD nursing program. I have worked in this position for 1 year. Prior to this, I was an Army Nurse Corps Officer. After completing my military service, I decided that I wanted to do something fun and found my current job. I'm really looking forward to working with all of you!

Hello everyone.  I am looking forward to meeting you tomorrow evening.  I currently serve as the Enterprise Chief Compliance Officer for Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals in Philadelphia.  Prior to joining Jefferson, I served as a federal prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Justice, focusing on health care fraud and Antitrust matters.  I have a keen interest in health care, and spent the early years of my professional career working as a Registered Nurse in an urban hospital setting.  Please see the other health care professionals in this class if you need medical assistance.  My skills are pretty pathetic at this point.

I am looking forward to meeting you tomorrow.

Greetings!  I'm (Nicole and) a GED Instructor for Prison Education, Department of (Adult) Education, at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution in Wilmington, DE - almost five years in(carcerated) now.  (HAHA!)

I have seven years prior experience teaching at Delcastle (a vocational-technical school, also in Wilmington), as well as five summers teaching for Upward Bound program at DelTech (Wilmington).

Despite all my teaching employment in Delaware, I grew up northeastern Pennsylvania and attended Bloomsburg University, obtaining my degree in Secondary Education/Mathematics.  I recently completed my masters at WilmU, and, like the rest of you, am continuing my education.

Looking forward to putting faces to names on Friday! :)
