I'm a Senior Student Systems Analyst at CSU Channel Islands, where I've spent the last eight years working with PeopleSoft Campus Solutions across Admissions, Academic Advisement, Student Records, Campus Community, and integrations with Financial Aid and EAB. All told, I bring about 15 years of experience working with Oracle systems and partners (including time in the private sector) with a focus that has always come back to higher education.
I hold an MBA with an emphasis in Information Technology from California Lutheran University and was recognized as a member of Sigma Beta Delta, an international business honor society. My career in higher education actually started as a Student Assistant in the Admissions Office at CSU Channel Islands. That early experience of engaging with students and seeing how these systems directly affect them is what hooked me.
In my current role, I work across functional and technical teams to keep our systems running well and make them better over time. I lead PeopleSoft maintenance and testing coordination for Enrollment Management, help drive major upgrades, and work closely with campus stakeholders to deliver improvements that make a real difference. I strive to ensure better data, smoother processes, and a more intuitive experience for the people using these systems every day. Lately, a big part of that work has been implementing and optimizing tools like HighPoint Campus Experience and Course Auditor, which has been really rewarding to see come together.
I also love connecting with colleagues across the CSU system to share what we're learning and figure out better ways to use Campus Solutions together. I currently serve as a Council Member on the HEUG Young Professional Network, and I'm excited about the possibility of contributing even more to the HEUG community through a board position.
Outside of work, I love traveling internationally, diving into new cultures, and keeping up with emerging technology and gaming.
