My current scholarship focuses around two avenues of work core to my teaching philosophy and practice: improving the design and delivery of online courses as well as topics that build the capacity of business educators to use research-based approaches to teaching. My work has been published in New Directions for Evaluation, Journal for Research in Business Education, Journal of Adolescent Health, Evaluation and Program Planning, and the National Business Education Forum

You can see some recent manuscripts I've published in:

  • March 2023 - Journal of Educators OnlineAddressing the Elephant in the Room: What One Graduate Program Did to Preserve Program Quality When Converting a Face-to-Face Program to an Online, Asynchronous Degree Program (with Dr. Karla Saeger)
  • Summer 2022 - Journal of Research in Business Education: Creating an Effective Online Teaching Presence (with Dr. Karla Saeger)
In addition, I have extensive applied research experience in evaluation of educational and social programs and policies, and on supporting the work of others engaged in quality improvement, reform, and community-building efforts. With strong training in qualitative and quantitative methods, my work in evaluation often relies on participatory, collaborative, and developmental processes and has served a range of constituents from small non-profits focused on program improvement to large state, county and local public health agencies or education institutions.

I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in Educational Policy & Administration with an emphasis in Evaluation Studies/Program Evaluation; a Master's of Science in Education from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater with an emphasis in Business & Marketing Education; and a Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
