“
You made a great comment, "This paper helped me gain a new appreciation for supporting an educational journey with 'outside the box' solutions." I liked this because it discusses your learning and future applications.
In paper 1, you may want to change 'at a 4 university' to 'at a 4-year university' and the last reference is not indented, like the others
Great information in Paper 2
Great information in Paper 3
Your video presentation demonstrates your excellent communication style
Your Statement Paper had both good information and showed a strong reflection
One suggestion, add Judy Grace's title to your papers.

"Ease of navigation
-I find your website quite easy to navigate. However, the ‘Reviews’ bar in the top center that follows the visitor to every page is mildly distracting.
Visual appeal
-Colorful theme with images that catch the eye kept my attention as I browsed the website.
Usefulness
-After reviewing the website I have a complete picture of your writing style, educational interests, and career intentions. This website is a great supplement to an interview for prospective employers.
Any suggestions to improve my content or website.
-On your resume, capitalize ‘Clinical Instructor’ to match ‘Dental Hygienist’ in posts below.
-Of your three main buttons on the home page, consider swapping View Papers with a link to the video introduction page."

“The navigation is very straight forward and intuitive. I enjoyed the variety of topics covered in your papers and presentations. The use of mixed media was very effective. You're capturing many different learning styles by having video, papers, and power point presentations. Your letter of intent was excellent. You gave a very clear explanation of your experience and what you are offering to potential schools. My only critique is to adjust the spacing on your resume, it is inconsistent. I really enjoyed reviewing your website. I'm confident you'll make an excellent addition to whatever dental hygiene department is fortunate enough to employ you.”

“Nadine is the true definition of a mentor and a natural leader in higher education. As I reviewed her professional website, I was astonished by her hard work as a registered dental hygienist and true dedication and passion for higher education. She displays empathy for her students and a growing curiosity in a learning environment. Having the privilege to work with Nadine as a student, finishing our Masters in Educational Leadership displayed Nadine's teamwork, motivation, and eagerness for continuous improvement. As a registered dental hygienist myself trying to make the transition into the educational field, I view Nadine as a role model; I aspire to portray her same professor traits, character, and compassion."

"I appreciate the layout of your website; it is very easy to navigate. The scheme is simple and appealing to the eye. I actually love that you incorporated your own pictures from travel and around Flagstaff. The introduction video was very nicely put together. All links within the website were functioning and the layout was easy to navigate. "

“I love the mission of helping students thrive and succeed in higher education. The papers gave me a new perspective on challenges I had not thought about before. The statistics referenced in the papers were also eye opening and thought provoking! The papers were well written and interesting to me as a dental hygienist myself!”
