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.

You bring up a good point, Jennifer as certain disclosure requirements include annual updates that are distributed to current students.
Discussion Comment
Nicely stated, Gina.
I respect that you provide time for students to review materials before signing.
Great point, Jennifer. If the student genuinely likes the school, they should recommend people without requiring an incentive.
Lisa - you bring up a good point regarding the benefits of having standard forms to ensure compliance across multiple campuses.
You bring up a great point, Dina. Even if someone is on DNC, an inquiry from the individual can "start the clock over" on the school's ability to contact the prospect by phone.
Susan - thanks for referencing the process including the provision AND the requirement that the institution receives the students sign off indicating receipt of the required information.
Jennifer - thanks for outlining the various areas involved in enuring disclosures are properly provided. This demonstrates how multiple departments are involved with ensuring compliance with these regulations.
Jan - thanks for your positive approach! Creative ideas like these may help new students and address activities for which your current students get more engaged with the institution. I appreciate you sharing these thoughts.
Discussion Comment
Amanda - thanks for referencing the importance of handling inquiries about transfer credit. In today's education environment, many students are attending multiple institutions during their educational lifecycle. As you noted, questions are likely to arise on this important topic.
