Expert Bio

I have over 20 years of Information Technology and Higher Education experience. I have worked for the past 10 years as Associate Director in the Office of Financial Aid, where I provide PeopleSoft support for the Financial Aid and Student Employment. I was the functional and technical team member for the PeopleSoft v. 8.0 implementation. I have been the Financial Aid functional lead of our CS upgrades since then.


In 2015, I was surprised and honored to be inducted to the HEUG Hall of Fame.  At the moment, I serve on the HEUG Security Working Group.


I got my start with PeopleSoft at University of Wisconsin Colleges, implementing PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 8.0, then moved and joined Marquette University in 2003 as an Assistant Director of Systems and Data Management.  Marquette had selected PeopleSoft Campus Solutions 8.0 and we went live in 2004.


I am a regular presenter at both regional and national HEUG conferences. I have presented on a variety of topics, ranging from PeopleTools tips and tricks to specific functional topics like Federal Verification.


I have been involved with HEUG since 2004 as follows.
