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.

Deanna - I agree with the approach to put it back on the potential student to do the research. It also gives admissions a good reason to call the student for follow up to see what they have learned, questions they may have based on what they heard from a competitor, etc.
Toni - That's great! I love hearing positive "side effects" of training! I hope it inspires further cross functional discussions at your school!
Discussion Comment
Jennifer, I completely agere with your comments. The reassurance about their choice needs to occur throughout the program.

As a graduate and an employee, you are in a great position to have credibilty when you talk to students and prospective students, Janet.
Great points, Jill!!! Referrals won't occur unless the students are satisfied with the service provided.
Discussion Comment
Alexander - I agree. Following this one guideline pretty much sums up how to ensure integrity in all matters.
Erin - well said.
Discussion Comment
Derek - from my research, Colorado is one of the strictest states regarding restrictions regarding this area due to the restriction on recruiting students currently enrolled at another school. A few states restrict certain discussions about other schools but the limit on recruiting students currently enrolled elsewhere is quite strict by comparison.
Discussion Comment
Nancy - I can always guess someone's job function based on the items referenced for this discussion topic! Your items demonstrate the cross functional dependencies between departments since academics and finance impact one another.
Deanna - I totally agree with your points on the documentation. It is a benefit to have verification for audits as well as follow up with students.
