About me:
I help create insight from data to inform education practices and decisions in the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS). In addition, I provide assistance, expertise, and coaching in data literacy and data governance. I am keenly interested in how we can leverage data to help close student gaps, increase student completion and retention, and advance the success for all of our students.
