I work closely with Higher Ed faculty and administrators across the South-Central U.S. to create and implement customizable print and digital course materials at an affordable price. Put another way, I help faculty adapt their required course materials to better fit their course and outcomes rather than having them compromise their course to fit the materials.

Prior to joining XanEdu, I held various sales and leadership positions at Pearson and McGraw-Hill spanning twenty years. While there, I helped support my faculty’s pivotal transition from print to digital learning solutions. I’m on a mission to improve student accessibility and combat the rising cost of textbooks with low-cost, high-value customizable resources.

I believe if more courses relied on open resources, students wouldn’t have the barrier to learning presented by an expensive textbook. I’m impassioned by the critical issue of equity and access to education for all students.
