As an educator and administrator with over 15 years of experience in higher education, I was invited to join the FCCJ team in March 2003 as the first Director of Learning Services for South Campus. In this new role, I am responsible for providing vision, leadership and direction for the campus Library and Learning Center and associated services.
In addition
to establishing and leading new collegiate academic support programs at both
public and private two-year and four-year institutions of diverse missions and
enrollments,
I have
worked with Federal
TRIO programs and college counseling centers, coordinated services for
students with disabilities,
taught
personal development and new student orientation courses as well as contract
training and leadership development courses,
and organized special projects for Presidents and Vice Presidents
on several
campuses. I am also an experienced writer and editor with a specific
interest in the use of technology as a communication tool.
I hold
an Educational Specialist degree
in Leadership
Studies from the
Marshall University Graduate College,
and
am currently completing my doctorate in
Educational
Leadership Studies with a specialization in Higher Education Administration at
West Virginia University.
I received
both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees
from
Marshall
University.
