Academic and Professional Degrees, Credentials, and Certifications
The items below show my academic degrees, professional certifications and memberships, and ongoing professional studies. Plus some personal studies, to “freshen the brain.”
Lifetime Learning is a significant part of maintaining professional skills. But even more, Lifetime Learning can “freshen up the brain a bit,” creating new neural pathways, keeping one’s mind young.

Personal Studies
The summer of 2018 I studied Spanish in Ecuador, six hours daily with private tutors, for three months. It was a proud moment when I knew what was said, but didn’t recall which language. Of course, I also slept 12 hours each night from thinking so much.
Back home in the United States, I am learning to program websites using WordPress, and Adobe Premiere to edit videos, keeping my brain fresh and active.
The point is that if “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, then Sidney Kelley is curious and alert.
