LinkedIn Profile

I am celebrating my 23rd year of professional distance education work experience and my 6th year at CEI. I began my professional career at Idaho State University managing video courses and later transitioned to online learning. While at ISU and working full-time I completed my Master’s degree in Instructional Technology and later my Doctoral degree in Higher Education Leadership in 2015. In January of 2018, I was hired by CEI to develop an online learning program from scratch as CEI transitioned to a community college from EITC. I have previously served as a WCET steering committee member and am also in my second term serving on the SAN Advisory Group representing 2-year colleges. For fun I spend as much time with fiance and my dogs as possible. I also have a pet turtle named Pokey.
