I help small organizations use cost-effective technologies and smart human systems to direct more of their money and energies toward their mission and goals.

Nashville

Greater Nashville Area, Tn

I supported the operations and technologies of multiple extra-collegiate programs for Vanderbilt University's prestigious Peabody College of Education. My special special focus was on its flagship summer academy for gifted adolescents. Across all programs, I innovated strategies for faculty recruitment, document processing, and team communications that doubled demand, accelerated enrollment timeframes, and increased retention and service quality. Programs were self-sustaining, with operating budgets ranging between $90,000 and 1.6 million per annum.

Franklin, Tennessee, United States

As an adjunct professor for a small design college (later merging with Belmont University in Nashville), I taught core curriculum courses in philosophy and religious studies. I was known campus-wide for my energetic instruction, curriculum rigor, and innovation in educational technologies.

Nashville Metropolitan Area

I taught philosophy and religious studies courses for pre-collegiate residential programs for gifted adolescents. I was known for my energy and enthusiasm, nimble instruction, and innovations in methodologies and student-faculty communications.

Nashville, Tennessee, United States

I gained seven years of experience managing long-term research projects. I assisted three supervisors in two departments teach and assess four cohorts of adult learners and one cohort of young adult learners. I wrote a book length manuscript about how religion shapes culture in healthy and unhealthy ways, and I defended its findings to a panel of five experts in the topics it covered. I performed original research and delivered presentations to professionals in conferences across the country, cultivating networks of mutual support and collaboration. As the president of a graduate student organization, I secured speakers, planned events, and moderated sometimes intense discussions. I processed up to 500 pages of professional literature per week, compiled research lists for projects, and conducted sustained study of over 100 dense and difficult texts. I learned to read and translate French in four months. I defended my dissertation in May of 2011.

Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

I worked at this business for a little over a year while applying to PhD programs. My job was to implement the company's various remediation programs for students with learning differences, generally involving dyslexia, but also including Autistic-Spectrum Disorders and kids with severe developmental delays. I was known at my center for my energy, facility with "difficult" adolescents, technological know-how, and ability to recognize and develop simple corrections to improve service quality.

Greenfield, Indiana, United States

While working on a couple of master's degrees and being a part-time, guitar-playing youth pastor, I transition from substitute teaching to a part-time job at a nearby middle school, remediating students who were identified as being "at risk" to fail the newly established Graduation Qualifying Exam.
