Hello,

It is with great pleasure that I am working to help create The Think Tank at the Student Academic Learning Center. I began my career path as an educator and continue to work to support students seeking knowledge. I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Education and a Master’s of Science in Human Development. The combination of these two degrees has helped me view learning as a life-long endeavor.

I have managed university learning centers for the last 10 years. I seek to continually improve the quality of services offered to students, based on research and best practices. It is through a strong team of professionals and a well-trained staff of student employees that we can offer strong academic support. All students deserve best possible learning support we can provide.
