Instructor Highlights

Gena Sellers - Pets, Animals & Farm

Why did you choose to be a Community Education

Instructor? I want to give back to my community. And I get to add enrichment to other people’s lives.

What factors have influenced your teaching the most?

I began my adult life as an amputee. I started using the phrase: It’s not something I can’t do, but I have to do it differently. I started learning different ways to help navigate my world, while doing that I found my passion, helping others, working with animals, and gathering information to help me be more accessible to my environment.

This term, Gena Sellers will teach a new class called Investigating Oregon’s Exotic Pet Trade. See page 33.

Ryan Brockey - Computers Skills & Technology

Why did you choose to be a Community Education Instructor?

I wanted to teach in Community Education because I love to teach and CE seems like a great way to reach a lot of people and pass on useful skills.

What makes your classes special?

I teach Excel I, Excel II, and Intro to Modern Computer Programming classes. These classes are special because they help people unlock the power of tools they did not have access to before. If you know how to use spreadsheets, people will think you’re a wizard. People are always so surprised by what you can accomplish with Excel.

This term Ryan Brockey will teach Excel 1 and Excel II. Find them on page 13.
