Specialty area(s)
In addition to my decade of experience in university testing, I have a decade of work as the chief student affairs and enrollment officer with a focus on early intervention retention initiatives.
Brief biography
As the Director of Testing at UW-Whitewater and having oversight of all testing at UW-Baraboo/Sauk County and Lake Superior State University, I directed all national testing programs and administration of the exams, in addition to placement testing and testing for credit opportunities, at all three of these institutions. At UWW, I had responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the testing center. At Edgewood my nursing student support efforts were far-reaching but included NCLEX national exam board certification prep, remediated testing, accommodated test administration, and other related work. Prior to returning to my UWL alma mater in testing, my career in testing was bookended by academic advising on the front and residence life, dining, and student activities on the back.
