Here I provide a collection of artifacts which I feel demonstrate the competencies I have developed throughout my LDT master’s program. To aid your navigation of this page, I provide a list of competency categories with brief definitions and a link to specific artifacts supporting my assertion. A competency matrix is also included, providing a visual representation of each competency category and its status (e.g., completed, in process, etc.).
