Proven online and digital education leader versed in creating comprehensive strategy and efficient operational models across the student lifecycle, resulting in increased student achievement and retention, highly engaged and motivated faculty and staff, sustained institutional growth, improved quality assurance across programs, and successful partnerships with industry and communities to meet workforce development goals. I specialize in online, virtual, and hybrized learning and operating environments that create sustainable growth and that lead to deep student learning. I have management experience in all areas of college and university operations, including growing student census, curriculum management, academic affairs, learning experience design, admissions, financial aid, registrar and records, alumni management, accreditation, quality assurance, and continuous quality improvement.I am a researcher, writer, and frequent speaker on online education and its intersections with pedagogy, student support, operations, and organizational structures, overall. Recently, I have also had the opportunity to lean into and discuss the role that artificial intelligence can play in higher education as well. I pride myself in my ability to coach, teach, mentor, and lead not only with my heart, but with proven qualifications in instruction, organizational leadership, workforce development, education administration, and project management. On a more personal level, I am a first-generation college student who was able to change my entire life through the socioeconomic stabilizing and mobilizing power of higher education--I believe in higher education, in every possible way. You will find me to be a dynamic, compassionate, and energetic leader with a clear sense of purpose and meaning in the way I show up at work (and at play!). A wise man who shaped who I am today was fond of saying, "if you can, you should"...and I do.Connect --> via LinkedIn messaging or bettyjo_bouchey@yahoo.com
