This portfolio outlines my community engaged scholarship (CES) including training, engaged projects and products, and scholarly work during completetion of my doctoral degree at the Biden School of Public Policy & Administration at the University of Delaware and is submitted for fulfillment of the Community Engagement Graduate Certificate.

The certificate provided me the opportunity to turn my passion into a profession. In the certificate program I received training through coursework, professional development opportunities, and mentorship, which has helped to enhance and expand my work by grounding my practice experiences in the larger literature, ensuring my research is informed by expertise in the practice community, and learning the art of conducting CES which cuts across my teaching, research, and service.

It should be noted that instead of a final reflection, this e-portfolio includes several scholarly products which displays how the certificate, through coursework, professional development and engagement experiences, culminated in scholarly work that contibutes to both the larger literature as well as my career development.
