About (request update)

Alecia Jones is a dynamic and compassionate individual who enjoys seeing and helping people reach their God given potential. Whether it is through researching and uncovering information for friends and family, Alecia believes that everyone should be doing something special in life. Time cannot be wasted nor taken for granted. As an avid researcher, Alecia has developed the reputation of being the �Google Queen� because of her love for fact finding. If you need some information, she�ll definitely gather it for you. Ms. Jones has a Master of Science degree in Instructional Technology from North Carolina A&T State University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in History from East Carolina University. During the spring of 2008, Ms. Jones was blessed to teach four Curriculum and Instruction courses at A&T as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. The courses consisted of teaching basic computer skills and software applications to future teachers just beginning the teacher education program. The classes were extremely rewarding and Alecia�s humor and candor made her a popular instructor on campus. Previously, Ms. Jones was a consultant with the Summer Bridge Program at North Carolina A&T State University and worked in sharpening the writing and critical thinking skills of incoming college freshman.

For some reason she cannot get rid of this teaching bug so Alecia will begin the PhD program at Old Dominion University in Instructional Design and Technology this fall. She wholeheartedly believes in the value and the necessity that education brings to all people but firmly believes that without a solid foundation in Christ, academic degrees and success mean nothing. Alecia is anointed for educating people and firmly believes that within everyone is the capacity to learn, love and grow. Let�s Inspire The World!

My Interview Question

Do you believe that within each person is the capacity to learn, to love and to grow?

Current Whereabouts:

Right now, I'm preparing to start my PhD program in the fall '09. I'm so excited about it and I'm looking forward to the many doors that will open as a result of it.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

I'm all about "Green Job" Training, technology and ministry.
