With over twelve years of management experience, I have the right skills to build your learning business. I can tap off of my knowledge of adult learning, technical expertise, and advanced education to consult on any matter you might encounter delivering learning.

Management Experience

I served over six years at the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).  As the E-Learning Manager, I was responsible for the courseware development and production operations of the AACN E-Learning business.  Under my management, it grew from less than a $2-million business right through the Great Recession to over a $5-million business in just four years.

I also spent over six years at Ascolta, where I was the Manager of e-Business Systems.  I was not only responsible for the Ascolta Virtual classroom but I also conducted Ascolta’s electronic marketing and search engine optimization.  I managed the development and administration of the Ascolta web site, extranets, intranet, ecommerce, and other Internet-based business systems.  Developing a dynamic online course catalog and schedule of classes, I built ecommerce to over 50% of the organization’s total revenues.

As the Senior Product Manager at Zland, I developed a line of Internet-based business application services.  I took the products from pre-concept stage, through development and release, to the first $1-million in sales — all in less than one year.

Education

I concentrated on Marketing while earning my Bachelor of Business Administration at California State University, Fullerton. I was awarded Outstanding Marketing Student and graduated with highest honors.

I did my graduate studies in the Graduate School of Management at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). I earned the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a focus on Information Technology.

Then I earned a certificate in Advanced Software Technologies with a focus on Web Application Development and another in Internet Marketing from the UCI Extension.  I am a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and have also been a Cisco Certified Design Associate (CCDA) and Cisco Internet Solution Specialist.
