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.

Activity

I like the references I am seeing to "full disclosure" on this discussion topic. The more schools that practice this, the better for the industry.
Floreda - Great to see the multitude of communications with students regarding disclosures.
Nida - it's great to see such high frequency of communication and training!
Kristy - I totally agree about the attitude and "do the right thing" approach. You also bring up a good point about being available to answer questions to avoid frustration and delays in responding to questions when they arise.
Delaine - I appreciate your sense of uregncy and timeliness of handling these requests.
Rozel - this level of transparency is commendable!
Excelletn suggestion, Terelyn - Team building events can be very beneficial. I am not sure what kind of incentives you mean by "office incentives". Just make sure these are not in conflict with the restrictions related to incentive compensation.
Rikki - it sometimes amazes me the power of appreciation. That simple "thank you", plus the other items you mention, can go a long way to keep employees motivated. Thanks for sharing.
Lisa - it sounds like you have a lot of places where such disclosures are covered! It's a lot of information for people to digest so, it's good to have it in multiple places to reference.
Ann - it's good to know you have a process to handle requests for DNC in addition to what is handled with the National directory.
