Course Certificates
In addition to having completed a BA and Accelerated MA in Global Affairs from George Mason University (GMU) — in Fall 2012 and Spring 2014 respectively — I continued my studies there, after joining the workforce to strengthen my graphic design skills. I completed GMU’s Certificate in Graphic Design program in Summer 2020. I am so grateful for each of these learning experiences at GMU and the wonderful community of professors and students I encountered there.
Learning is a lifelong endeavor! In 2023 and this year in 2024 I started taking additional professional development courses through Coursera. The topics I have been focusing on learning more about include AI and creativity, responsible AI, and UX design. The certificates below were earned online by taking non-credit courses offered on Coursera by Google Career Certificates, Google Cloud, and Parsons School of Design, The New School. I would highly recommend them!
