Hello! My name is Kaneshya Lucas. I just turned 30 and have lived in Columbia, MO for majority of my life, however I am from Fayette, MO.
I love life, family, and meeting new people. Outside of work I love spending time with my family, catching a good sale at the mall, traveling, and watching basketball. Go Warriors!

I obtained my undergraduate education from Mizzou in Spanish and Business, and followed-up with an MBA with an emphasis in Human Resource Management at William Woods. Since then, I have been operating in the HR field in training and development, HR consulting, and account management. Outside of my 8a-5p, I am a business adjunct instructor at State Fair Community College.
You may be wondering how does all that bring me to pursue a Master's in Education. Training and Development has always been my passion. Within the last five years I have grown more passionate about education. While I want to continue to teach, I want to use my training experience to consult on curriculum and instruction. I want to be a part of creating innovative and creative learning environments and curriculum. To me, this is the perfect blend of HR training and consulting with my love for education.

I came into this program excited to learn about learning. Yep, you read that correctly. While technology has always been a part of my childhood, career, and even in my education journey, I expect to learn how to effectively apply new technology methods that keep the attention of my students while remaining current and exciting.

In all of my work experience technology has been present. Can you remember when google hangouts and google docs were the new and improved ways to communicate for school projects and at work? I thought I was fancy using each method, until other software programs came out. I went from using Powerpoints to Prezi Presentations real quick. While I don't dabble in social media outside of Pintrest and Snapchat, I am aware of it and its impact.

I have always been the student who utilizes all learning styles. I had to say it, do it, and run through all exercises two and maybe three times to get something. It wasn't until my sophomore year at Mizzou, that I realized I remembered everything I wrote in green. While that is super random, it worked for me! My notebooks would be written and highlighted in green. Ha!
