I can contribute to HEAA through a combination of my varied industry business experience, educational institution experience, and board leadership experience. I commit to making all required interactions and meetings for HEAA support as well as in-person events. I will leverage my positive record of active engagement with multiple educational and industry organizations and bring similar commitment for HEAA. My understanding of Extension studies has been gained via degrees earned from Harvard, University of Phoenix, and UMASS as well as actual undergraduate distance education teaching experience.
