I currently work for Utah Valley University as the Web Resource Director in Marketing and Communications. Prior to this I worked in Distance Education as a resource manager. I was the Director of Web and Application Development at Walden University and Web Team Manager at Smyth Companies prior to working at UVU. I have a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English from the University of Minnesota, a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management, a Master of Science (MS) in Educational Change and Technology Innovation from Walden University, and a recently completed Doctorate of Education (Ed.D) from Utah State University in Higher Education. My dissertation topic was "An Assessment of Utah Resident Incentives and Disincentives for Use of OpenCourseWare Resources." I also have Project Management Professional (PMP) certification through the Project Management Institute although it is from back in 2001. As you can likely guess, I like learning. I will always like learning. I think education is and should be enjoyable.
