I'm the Associate Director of Workforce Development at National University where I focus on integrating workforce assets into our courses. I serve as a bridge between industry and academia with a commitment to improving the employability of our graduates.
Prior to joining NU, I served as Director of Student Success for Pearson's non-degree product portfolio and consulted with universities on outcome assessment and learning analytics. My research interests include employability and career success, learning analytics and assessment of student learning.
My experience in higher ed began at Jones International University where I was Chair of International Education. I developed internationalization strategies and managed dual degree programs with partner institutions in Latin America. I also helped launch the United Nations Development Programme’s Virtual Development Academy that developed Junior Programme Officers in the core practice areas required for leadership at UNDP.

Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Student Consultants
CEE498 & 499A/B
Experience Overview Welcome to National University's Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering program, where our students embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the intricate balance between hardware, software, and communication systems. The pinnacle of their academic journey is the Capstone Design Project, a hands-on experience that propels them into the realms of problem-solving and innovation. Students will work on one main project over the course of a three-month capstone course, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Matching Process Engage in a collaborative journey with our students by submitting a match request. Following this, our dedicated faculty will engage in a detailed discussion with you, ensuring the project aligns with your business goals. Once mutual agreement is reached, confirmation on the Riipen platform sets the stage for students to choose projects they are passionate about, fostering a dynamic and purposeful collaboration. Ideal Partner We seek visionary business owners passionate about mentoring the next generation of engineering talent. Ideal projects come with clear problem statements, offering a blend of research and task-focused challenges.

Manufacturing Design Engineering Capstone
DEN496A/B
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from National University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of a three-month capstone course, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in the BS in Manufacturing Design Engineering program acquire the theoretical foundations, hands-on experience, and teaming skills required for effective conceptual, logistical, developmental, and interdisciplinary design of complex engineering devices, product life cycles, and engineering systems through integration of state-of-the-art computer-aided tools, concurrent engineering standards, and simulation modeling techniques.
Engineering Project Management or System Lifecycle Consulting
ENM607
Bring on graduate students from National University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based, virtual environment. Students in the Master of Science in Engineering Management program get an overview and practical application of project and system engineering management best practices. Our Capstone courses require students to apply these best practices while working on “real-life” projects with client companies. This is the culmination of students’ academic work and an opportunity to showcase and apply their academic knowledge in the business environment. Client companies will be presented with teams’ recommendations that will align the organizational systems with their core mission. These recommendations will address; the needs for enhancements to the systemic operating processes, measurable improvements to efficiency and effectiveness of core business systems, elimination or minimization of potential projects failures (delays, quality, scope, budget), use of technology-based solution where and when applicable.
Cybersecurity Capstone Project
CYB699
Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from National University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of three months, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students in this cybersecurity program will complete a Master's level project dealing with a student's area of specialization in Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing or Enterprise Cybersecurity Management. The students will create an original project with practical applications using cybersecurity policy, regulatory, and testing frameworks. The project will integrate the concepts of cybersecurity and information assurance taught throughout the program. Project management techniques and collaboration will be emphasized along with the ethical and legal aspects of the project.
