Get to know me

As the Webmaster for NWTC since 2013, my responsibilities include overseeing digital projects from the perspective of the user. I work closely with the Web Development team to meet user needs, utilizing SEO and accessibility best practices, while maintaining consistency with the College brand. I also lead the Digital Governance team, which is tasked with developing standards to increase the efficiency, consistency, and equity of digital experiences at the college.

Before joining NWTC I worked in higher education for Silver Lake College as well as in eCommerce for Shopko Corporate.

I received a Bachelor of Science in IT from Silver Lake College as well as an MBA in IT Management from Western Governors University. I'm currently working toward Google certification in User Experience Design.
