Ms. Whittaker - BIO

Hello, Everyone!

I have been living in Nashville Tennessee since October 1999. I love it here, but I still miss my morning walks on Belle Isle Park in Detroit, Michigan. We have a beautiful park here named Shelby Bottom, which is a large nature preserve, great for bird watching, rollerblading, and trail dirt-bike riding. I have three great cats named (Mr. Jezzy, Ms. Mitzi, and Mr. Jasper), my prior ones that are now deceased were (Mr. Cashmere, Ms. Christina, and Mr. Spanky). They have been with me for years, and they keep me from being lonely. I love to design websites, curriculums, teach, power-walk, read, watch videos and work on my computer.

I was working as a Department Chair (Medical Billing & Coding), and as an Accounting/Medical Instructor for National College of Business & Technology as of August 2006 in Nashville Tennessee. My milestones are: I was awarded instructor of the year for 2002 and 2003 by the Tennessee Association of Independent Colleges (TAIC).

I have been fortunate to have received the Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Award two year running, one from Nashville College of Medical Career and another from National College of Business and Technical.

Credentials

I hold a BBA in Health Administration, I have an MBA in Accounting from Davenport University in Michigan, and I am currently working on my Ph.D. in Applied Management Diverse Science in Accounting online with Walden University.

Profile of Courses Taught

Since my first adjunct teaching assignment at Nashville College of Medical Careers (NCMC) in January 2000, I have taught medical courses with the National College of Business and Technology (NCBT), Colorado Technical College (CTU), Kaplan University (KU), Florida Technical University (FTU) and Herzing University (HU).

Employments

Prior to that time, I worked for 5 years as an Instructional Reimbursement Trainer and Consultant at the International National Equipment Supplies. During January 2001, I became an adjunct faculty at NCMC and for 3 years served as Academic Chair for the School of Medical Assisting in the Allied Healthcare division at the NCBT.

All in all, life has been great. I can't complain! I hope everyone is doing great... :-) I love the online format, and I am very excited to get started! It is going to be a real pleasure working with all of you!

So let’s get started!

Thanks, Ms.W.
