Note bene:
I have conducted research into several subjects. For my PhD dissertation, I used a qualitative research method that examined how college students use an online writing lab. I used a qualitative methodology to examine how educational policies are decided by the Wisconsin State Legislature. I also evaluated a UW campus technology training program.

As a leader at two University of Wisconsin campuses (Rock County and Madison) my roles have included initiating projects, scheduling rooms, supervision and evaluation of staff, creating and revising curriculum, budget creation and monitoring, working with cross campus units, program development, working to make changes, planning to meet the needs of students and faculty, setting priorities, coordinating people and services, creating a vision of improvements, making decisions, solving problems, promoting services, staffing people who will assist faculty and students, allocating resources to meet the needs of faculty, evaluating outcomes, and resolving conflicts. I have worked in leadership roles to make contributions to the organizations I have worked in. As a leader in the instructional technology department at UW-Madison’s School of Human Ecology (SoHE), my roles included a vision of improvement for the department, setting goals, priorities, and policies. I also staffed, managed, and directed my people to ensure high quality services. I prepared budgets, managed projects, and evaluated the success of the department.
I have combined my experience as a leader with the University courses I have taken on such topics as leadership, evaluation, reform and change in education, research methods, field research, and statistics. I attended the online school, Capella University. At Capella I took such courses as evaluation, educational change, research methods, and the future of educational institutions, personnel administration, and trends in online instruction.
I have managed the daily operations of a department as well as supervised people, and prepared budgets. I have experience with program development, initiating projects, and I worked with faculty in the planning of online courses. I have conducted needs assessments and revised curriculum as needed to meet the needs of the students. I coordinated a busy technology department at both UW-Rock County and the School of Human Ecology (SoHE) for years. I am use to prioritizing requests, decision making, and I have served on two university committees. For example, I was a member of the undergraduate program committee at SoHE.
I have conducted research into several subjects. I used a qualitative research method that examined how college students use an online writing lab. I used a qualitative methodology to examine how educational policies are decided by the Wisconsin State Legislature. I have taken two quantitative research courses. I also evaluated a UW campus technology training program. I use several evaluation models to evaluate training. For example, I have used Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model, the Provus Discrepancy model, and Stufflebeam’s CIPP model.
