You should know something about your instructor too
so here is information about me, Betty Lambert.
I have taught at Des Moines
Area Community
College for 26 years in the Business and Information
Management Department at the Ankeny, Des Moines, and West Campuses. I have been teaching at the Des Moines
Campus since 1988. I feel very
privileged to have the opportunity to teach at DMACC. Please feel free to contact me if you need
help by calling my work number (515) 248-7244 or by e-mail balambert@dmacc.edu.
I
would like to tell you how Des
Moines Area Community College helped me become the
person I am today. In 1979 I was a
divorced mother who had no marketable skills with two small sons; I had married
right out of high school and had been a stay-at-home wife and mother. I started attending DMACC during the fall
quarter of 1979 and was terrified of failing all my classes and of being kicked
out of school.
Delores
Fortner and True Sherman, who are, of course, now retired, became my
mentors. When I felt overwhelmed, these
two women were there to encourage me to continue with my studies. With their help, I was able to finish my education
at Des Moines Area Community College
and transfer to Drake
University where I
graduated with honors with a degree in education.
Des Moines Area
Community College gave me a chance at a better life for me
and for my sons. I feel very blessed to
have the privilege of teaching at DMACC for 26 years and look forward to many
more. I now try to mentor students to
encourage them to continue their education.
I
am married to Ken Lambert, the most
wonderful man in the world, and feel very blessed to have Ken in my life. My husband also teaches at DMACC, teaching
computer design and computer programming classes. Ken has four children and one grandchild,
Sophie, who is 7. She lives in New Jersey with her
parents, Katrina and Henry. Siri and Jon
live in Denver, Colorado, also. Pete lives in the state of Washington,
and Kendal lives in Oregon.
I
have two sons: Shawn Stiles, 38, just
recently moved to Denver, Colorado, and is a plumber. Bryan Stiles is
30, married to Susan, and has three children:
Amanda who is 15, Dylan who is 7, and Charles who is 3. Bryan also works
as a plumber in Denver, Colorado.
I love being a grandmother and think, of course, that
our grandchildren are the greatest kids around!
I am MOS certified (Microsoft Office Specialist) in Word, Excel, Access,
and PowerPoint for Office 2003. MOS
certification, the premier Microsoft desktop certification, is a globally
recognized standard for demonstrating desktop skills. To earn the certification, you must pass an
exam that covers that application. Office Specialist exams provide a valid and
reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise by evaluating a
person’s overall comprehension of Office applications, your ability to use
their advanced features, and your ability to integrate the Office applications
with other software applications.
