Executive Profile
Dynamic and driven leader who is unwilling to compromise with ordinary and is passionate about the possibilities of changing lives. My previous leadership roles in management, supervisory and college administration have prepared me to work immediately in any administrative or executive capacity. As Chief Academic Officer for Remington College, I lead a team of over 50 dynamic change agents who understood the value of educating people, and who believed educators are in a unique position to become a part of something greater than ourselves. As Dean of Academic Affairs with ITT Technical Institute, I still believe strongly in this philosophy, which has guided me throughout my experience as a Chair, a Director and Dean, and is proven testimony when students graduate based on a skill set earned from our college.
