A recovering academic - I taught history at university part- and full-time between 1992 and 2011 - I have been working with Oxbridge Academic Programs since 2007, first as Associate Director, then, from 2012, as Executive Director, and, since 2014, as SVP with WorldStrides. As ED/SVP, I have created, marketed, sold, organized, and overseen, up to 20 discrete educational programs a year welcoming +/- 1800 students and adults, annually, in 6 different countries. Within that, I have concentrated on the entrepreneurial aspects of keeping up with evolving customer tastes through program creation, on harnessing new means of marketing and selling them while retaining our emphasis on person-to-person sales, on ensuring safety, on quality control, and on creating and maintaining successful relations with major academic and commercial partners in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.

Listed skills include Teaching, Volunteer Management, Research, Student Leadership, and 3 others.
