Week 1 Welcome & Introductions
Hello! I'm Barb Jacobson and I'm located in Maplewood, MN. I work for the MN Dept of Agriculture as a Training and Standards Administrator, tracking and recording training standards for our food safety inspectors as required by the FDA. I also have the golden opportunity to develop trainings in Articulate periodically.
I joined this Certificate Cohort, because I'm a skeptic when it comes to using AI (I don't want to lose my independence and rely on AI to do what I currently do) but also because with the right prompting, I'm confident it will help me save precious time, and still allow me to practice many of the skills I've worked so hard to learn over the years while being creative.
No pets anymore, although over the years we've had Golden Retrievers, a Black Lab, and an English Setter.
Hi Barb! This seems like it might have been a stressful year for your department, but what a cool and important field to be in.
I hear you about being wary of losing independence in your work while also wanting to use tools that help save time- I hope the cohort helps you find a balance you're comfortable with!Food safety will always present challenges. I work with incredibly dedicated staff who make food-safety a priority. It's not always easy, but they're wonderful people and I'm honored to support them and call them friends.
