Experience

I currently work with Alabama Community College System as Executive Director of Career and Technical Education
I have 8 years of experience working in the Collegiate Faculty, Staff, Administration industry.

Executive Director of Career and Technical Education | Alabama Community College System
From July 2017 to Current • 9 year(s)
My team and I provide oversight for the State's postsecondary Perkins V grant, as well curriculum review for the State's community college. I am often consulted regarding issues in other areas in which CTE students are involved. Since so much of community college instruction is career and technical education, I work with the System's adult education division, the student success division, as well as assisting with the facilitation of not-for-credit to for-credit articulation. I also work with various groups on 2- to 4-year articulation memoranda of understanding.
