I have over 18 years of professional experience in higher education, progressing from positions of academic support, to faculty, and then into administration within community, tribal, technical, and private colleges. Passionate about education, I am a life-long learner with a proven record of adding value to institutions of higher learning through exemplary partnering skills and an entrepreneurial mindset. In addition, I’ve published several articles on entrepreneurship, and facilitated numerous workshops and a variety of management and leadership topics.

Over the years, my educational philosophy has remained simple and consistent. Essentially, I like to see students engaged in learning through personal examples, real-life scenarios, hands-on activities, and fluid guidelines.
