Hello my name is Professor Laura Gonzales and I have been an adjunct Profession with SPC for over 10 years. I believe that today's students will be the next generation of leaders. Teaching tomorrow's leaders is a career that is rewarding in many ways. I believe that teachers should inspire students to want to learn and grow through innovative learning platforms and meticulous curriculum design. A teacher's duty is to foster a trustful relationship with students so that there can be open communication. I have been teaching for over 6 years in the computer science field. I am a MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) in Word, Excel and Powerpoint. I am an Adobe Certified Specialist in Photoshop. I am a 3rd generation Floridian and a graduate of Nova Southeastern University and University of South Florida. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Marketing and a Master's Degree in Computer Science Education.  I have been married for 15 years and I have 2 beautiful children. Personally I love traveling, shopping and teaching!
