I am a Strategic Project Manager at Unicon and have worked in the field of data and analytics for Higher Education institutions since 2010. I work with clients in their analytics initiatives to bring meaningful results by assisting in data preparation, visualization, and driving data literacy throughout the organization. As a Strategic Project Manager, I understand institutional data structures and how to effectively manage, interpret, and utilize that data to inform decisions. I graduated from the University of South Dakota with a PhD in Educational Psychology and Northern Illinois University with a MS in Educational Psychology. I am a proud member of the Graduate Faculty at the University of South Dakota, and serve as a methodologist on dissertation committees. I contribute to the higher education industry through conference presentations on data policy, institutional research, and analytics. I am on the Steering Committee for the EDUCAUSE Student Success Analytics community group and co-authored the Student Success Analytics framework.
