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.

Excellent suggestion about sharing information on staff and faculty. Factual references to their backgrounds can be a motivator for students to select your institution.
Great suggestion, Patricia! This is certainly a credible reference when an employer/internship sponsor suggests the program to others.

Ione - you make a good point that having the catalog to reference is a good tool to help reinforce policies.

Great point, Richard! The catalog serves as a great reference to employees, as well as students.
Great information, Richard.

Linda - great to hear you emphasize the importance of the catalog. It is a critical part of the agreement between schools and their students.
Linda - I couldn't agree more with the comment about prevention being worth a pound of cure!
Good suggestion, Jon, to get feedback from employees about what motivates them. I also like the comment about celebrating successes as a team. I have seen some schools use the team concept across departments to show that multiple departments impact such sucess.
Great suggestions, Emily!
Great point, Erin. The significant amount of information can be overwhelming. I have seen some on this chain mention that they touch on these points at multiple stages of the enrollment process which also helps to reinforce understanding.
