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.

Mala, I have frequently had to refer to the electronic contact history. It is a useful "double-hitter" approach, as you mention. Traci Lee
Nyssa, This is an important topic - thanks for your post that references key areas for HR compliance - especially FSLA status which is certainly an area where some schools have faced consequences. I have seen schools take various approaches on monitoring enrollment staff due to the changes with the elimination of safe harbors. It will be interesting to see how schools do with this over time to see what emerges as best practices. Traci Lee

Aranzu, It sounds like you have a thorough approach to managing records. Is it time consuming to manage these multiple folders or are they each handled by a separate department? Traci Lee
