About Me
Extensive IT career in education with emphasis on system design and implementation. Experience leading a team to meet organizational IT goals in pursuit of the mission & vision.
Systems include vendor software like Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, Sage 50 Accounting, Learning Management Systems and cafeteria food service programs. Custom in-house solutions include gradebooks, attendance, bus routing & fleet maintenance tracking, mass messaging tools, online payments, SSO, webinar platforms and tuition tracking.
I believe IT, much like the rest of operations, should be customer service oriented and that this philosophy should be applied not just with the people the organization serves, but at all levels within the organization.
