    A newbie to the Mohawk College Research Administration Certificate program, and a newbie to the CARA space; Hello world! To those of you in the Greater Toronto Area, expect to see a lot more of me this Fall when I beat on your doors; hitting you up for a position in research administration! 

    I represent the new approach to semi-retirement; term driven 2nd careers, doing something completely different, making use of work from home. Retirees with extensive industry experience, and decades of soft skill expertise, paired with a one-year Research Administration Certificate evidencing specific expertise. In my case; a CPA/MBA, a former treasurer, financial controller, and regulator in a past life, terrible at golf, and looking to make change. 

    A shameless promoter of the Research Administration Certificate! give it a try. Flexible learning schedule, value for money, and tax deductible; the rest is up to you. Universities and hospitals are everywhere, and the people aren’t bad either.
