I want to use my combination of technical, managerial, and people-centered expertise to help others succeed. Driving improvements in STEM education, implementing programs for student success, or preparing people for high quality jobs all are key factors in lifting up families and changing generational directions for people. I worked for a large multinational technology company for almost four decades. I take pride in my technical accomplishments and the leading-edge technologies we delivered but feel even greater satisfaction from mentoring others and helping them reach their professional goals. I have successfully managed small groups and larger groups of several hundred people supporting 24/7 operations and development in a clean room. My team management style is heavily informed by the six years I worked as a commercial whitewater guide during school. That role taught me to keep a cool head in high pressure situations, be sensitive to the expectations and experience of others, and recognize that the true “win” comes from solving the problem at hand in a way that allows all to feel involved and valued.

My passion is helping people develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. In higher education, my focus is on promoting student success at all levels. For advanced students in electrical engineering, I use my years of experience semiconductor engineering and management to create courses which promoted deeper understanding and helped students find connections between device physics, materials science, electrical engineering, and manufacturing realities. My general education courses use real world design challenges to develop academic skills, creativity, and confidence. Directing an honors college allowed me to show prospective students of all backgrounds that they could find challenge and a sense of belonging in an academically rigorous environment. Managing a youth powered non-profit allowed me to help students apply their passions and energy to making measurable change in the world. In all cases, I measure success and identify areas for improvement by assessing learning goals through rubrics and self-assessment.
