    I oversee the implementation, sustainability and advancement of the Vermont Dual Enrollment Program and the Vermont Early College Program, Vermont's Work-Based Learning initiative and personalized learning initiative, along with state-wide education technology programs PK-12. I supervise three employees and manage over $3M in state appropriations to support programs, and provide grants to SUs/SDs for student-centered learning opportunities. I also develop state-wide policy and guidelines with a focus on equity. My high-level communication skills enabled me to build and maintain positive business and education partnerships across all levels. I ensure the alignment of State Board of Education policies with Vermont state standards to provide all learners access to top quality postsecondary and work-based learning opportunities and successful transition to college and career. As well, I conduct research and review of other state models and organizations to identify equity gaps and improve educational equity and diversity.
