Brief Bio
Currently we live in Lubbock, Texas, but are open to relocation as needed.
My professional interests center on surfacing valuable insights in ways that inform and empower widespread innovation that benefits all stakeholders.
Though trained in knowledge management, personnel development, and management information systems, the bulk of my professional experience is in higher education leadership.
There I've served as point for systems implementation and integration, stakeholder engagement, training, and relationship management, and data analysis projects. These have led to improvements in many aspects of student success at Texas Tech, including academic advising, academic and co-curricular support programs, ease of course scheduling, campaigns for student re-enrollment, guidance for student withdrawal, revision of related institutional policies, and procurement/management of SSMS/CRM systems.
In spite of the many constraints that inhibit institutional improvements, my work has substantively contributed to improved institutional and individual outcomes, particularly those related to student interactions/interventions, transition and exploration, predictive analytics, enrollment persistence, and student retention to successful graduation.
