Welcome, I’m Heather Nester.
I have 12+ years experience in higher education and currently work as an Assistant Professor in the College of Cooperative Education & Professional Studies at the University of Cincinnati.
I believe in helping people find a career worth having as they define it. Whether I am in the classroom, mentoring and advising aspiring and current professionals, or collaborating with partners I strive to an inclusive and exploration-focused educator.
To get a better idea of who I am feel free to read my About Me page, learn a bit more about my professional accomplishments shared on my CV, visit the courses I’ve taught, and review some examples of my work in instructional design and technology.
“Heather Nester is one of the most kind and caring professors I have ever had. She is genuinely invested in her students, and her class is structured so that it is engaging, informational, and thought provoking. Professor Nester is the kind of professor that all educators should aspire to emulate. I wish I would have taken her class earlier in my college career because it is such a valuable course.”
