Biography
I run the Web Content Management portfolio team, which manages the College's web presence (web publishing, quality assurance, archiving, design, etc) in partnership with the Communications Division.
I'm building our Data Analytics and Integrations portfolio team. The Integrations side is long-established and handles how our systems talk to one another. The data analytics side is formalizing our support for things like Enterprise Reporting (e.g. Cognos), using analytics to inform the college's strategies, and designing experiments to test whether what we think we know about a thing is actually correct.
I manage the Internal Communications portfolio, which includes applications such as the College portal, student involvement platform, and the College calendar.
Of course, there's more.
* I co-lead Lafayette's first-year onboarding cohort, which brings together departments from across the College to coordinate and improve the accepted and enrolled student experience.
* I'm part of the Accessibility Working Group at Lafayette, a cross-divisional group focused on improving the accessibility experience at the College.
Outside of Lafayette, I volunteer. My family and I raised six puppies as part of the Seeing Eye's Puppy Raiser program; we're currently on Number 7.
I devour science fiction and fantasy novels, write and podcast about a variety of geeky topics, and venture into the outdoors on hiking and backpacking trips.
