About me

I currently serve as the Vice President of Business Solutions for Bridgepoint Education. In my present role, I provide guidance to the company's ground based and online colleges to optimize their operations while staying within regulatory guidelines.

I have over 22 years of experience in the education industry. My experience encompasses virtually all aspects of the education business, including admissions, financial aid, academics, career services, and management of multi-campus operations. I’ve held senior level management positions at Career Education Corporation, MedVance Institute and the University of Phoenix (Apollo Group) as well as providing consulting services to a multitude of colleges and universities during my tenure with Campus Management Corporation.

My focus has been on campus start ups, regulatory compliance, process improvement, and operational oversight of multiple campus colleges, including international campuses. I recognize the challenges of working in a highly regulated environment that has grown more complex as companies have expanded operations, either organically or through acquisition, to include multiple regulatory bodies and governing oversight entities.

I hold a B.S. degree in Business from Arizona State University and an M.A. degree in Organizational Management from the University of Phoenix. I have completed the Apollo Group's Executive Development Program and the Career College Association's (now APSCU) Leadership Institute.

Stacie - thanks for the suggestion to tie recognition into the current social media craze! It's interesting to see how schools are leveraging options such as Facebook and this is one I hadn't yet seen.
Good examples. Thanks, Angelique!
Thanks for sharing your org chart showing how areas are structured, Wanda.
Great information you shared, Sheila. Such intristic motivators and great leadership should help schools retain employees despite new restrictions.
What a great, personal touch, Wendy! Your creative and genuine sentiment made the difference to show your true appreciation, value, and respect of the instructors' efforts.
Good example, Roberto.
Maria - I agree that management needs to set the tone in order for it to trickle throughout the student population. I have seen some academic departments with substantially better student performance than other depts that could best be explained by the leadership of that specific program.
Wendy - You should be able to go to the top of the page when responding to a discussion item to see the "breadcrumbs" indicating how you got to the page you are on. This post was in the Forum 2 discussion string regardin g"Eliciting Student Referals". Hope this helps.
Bruce - thanks for the good outline showing divided areas of responsibility.
Edna - thanks for sharing your ideas. I have seen employees value a special parking place or lunch with a higher level manager do wonders for motivation! And, as you also noted, the power of public praise can reinforce and encourage ongoing performance.
