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.

Ashley - well stated. Such displays of actual implementation of new processes provides solid evidence versus a list of things "to do" at a later time.
I've heard some say that happy employees equates to happy students. Great points, Jill.
Ashley - it's great to hear that institutions are taking a proactive stance on compliance by establishing a brand guide. Thanks for sharing.

Diana - good examples of items of interest to students which may be frequently referenced.
Diana - Pride, passion and commitment are great traits to find in employees. The organizational culture can also foster and inspire such to motivate employees outside of monetary rewards.

Erin - great comparison to handling a question as you would when asked about a prior employer. Such professionalism should benefit your institution.

DeVaria - I am the same way - my catalog is marked up with tabs and highlights to help me find frequently referenced topics. Great point on checking addendums as most schools have updates as "supplements" between full catalog publications.
DeVaria - Great examples of roles and responsibilities demonstrating separation of duties for certain departments. Thanks for sharing.
It's great to see these multiple touch points on items from various departments within the school. Thanks for sharing, Ramon.
I agree, Sharon! A student's perspective carries far more weight than hearing a school employee/manager tout the benefits of the school and programs.
