Academic Dean | Professor | Non-Profit Board Member | Writer & Blogger

I help colleges strengthen the quality of academic programs, expand access, and ensure student success. I also serve on the board of non-profit educational organizations, and I mentor early career administrators and professors.

With 20 years of career history in higher education, I have managed academic and online programs, dual credit partnerships, instructional technology services, academic assessment, curriculum planning, and faculty professional development.

I have a skill for establishing new academic departments, mentoring employees, and managing complex projects across the institution.
