The
field
of
higher
education
requires
a
certain
set
of
knowledge,
skills,
and
competencies.
After
participating
in
this
program,
my
assistantship,
and
my
internships,
I
feel
more
that
adequately
prepared
to
enter
the
field.
Throughout
my
time
at
Loyola
University
Chicago,
I
have
gained
knowledge
and
skills
in
cultural
competence,
student
development
theory,
research
and
assessment,
leadership
theories,
enrollment
management,
and
organizational
theories.
These
courses
have
provided
me
with
extensive
knowledge
that
I
will
continue
to
apply
as
I
enter
a
professional
position.
I
believe
that
my
two
strongest
skills
set
are
in
self-reflection
as
it
relates
to
social
justice
and
diversity
as
well
as
in
counseling
skills.
As
is
noted
throughout
my
ePortfolio,
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
during
this
program
reflecting
on
my
identities
and
how
they
influence
the
work
that
I
do
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
The
reflection
I
bring
to
my
work
allows
me
to
be
more
aware
of
how
identities
shape
professional
work
environments.
I
look
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
engage
students
in
conversations
around
topics
of
social
justice.
I
also
bring
counseling
skills
to
my
role
as
a
student
affairs
practitioner.
Having
studied
social
work
during
my
undergraduate
studies,
I
came
into
this
program
with
foundational
skills
and
knowledge
about
counseling
theory
and
techniques.
This
program
has
given
me
the
opportunity
to
practice
and
refine
those
skills.
I
found
that
I
have
a
skillset
for
building
rapport
and
getting
to
know
students
regardless
of
the
circumstances
under
which
we
are
meeting.
These
are
the
skills
and
knowledge
that
I
am
most
excited
to
bring
to
the
field.
As
for
professional
development,
I
feel
that
while
I
am
in
graduate
school
I
often
rely
on
our
classes
or
institution
to
provide
those
opportunities.
That
being
said,
I
look
forward
to
pursuing
professional
development
that
is
of
my
own
choosing.
Throughout
my
time
here,
I
have
been
stockpiling
a
number
of
articles
and
jotting
down
names
of
books
that
Lisa
Rogers
ePortfolio
Analysis
and
Action
Plan
others
have
said
I
must
read.
It
is
my
desire
and
hope
that
I
will
be
able
to
incorporate
professional
reading
into
my
regular
schedule
so
that
I
am
continuing
to
be
up
to
date
on
what
is
happening
in
the
field.
I
would
also
like
to
do
additional
reading
so
that
I
can
incorporate
it
into
my
work
with
and
training
of
student
staff.
Finally,
I
will
seek
out
formal
professional
development
opportunities,
including
departmental
and
divisional
opportunities
to
engage
in
topics
of
importance
to
the
field
of
higher
education.
I
will
also
continue
to
attend
as
many
conferences
as
I
can.
I
have
been
a
member
of
NASPA
for
three
years
and
though
I
have
attended
conferences,
I
have
not
been
as
involved
in
the
regional
branches
of
the
organizational.
I
would
like
this
to
change
once
I
graduate
and
enter
into
my
first
professional
job.
I
have
always
found
tremendous
value
in
networking
at
these
conferences
and
would
like
to
increase
my
involvement
on
campus
and
beyond.
I
also
foresee
that
much
of
my
professional
development
will
come
from
my
peers
in
this
program
right
now.
I
anticipate
that
I
will
be
calling
them
when
I
have
a
question
or
need
advice
and
I
know
they
would
be
happy
to
help,
just
as
I
would
be.
I
built
incredible
relationships
with
people
in
this
program
and
know
that
they
will
continue
to
be
a
support
system
on
which
I
can
rely.
