Assessment


I firmly believe in the transformative power of positive change and ongoing growth. The belief that we can continuously enhance ourselves and our practices is what drives my passion for assessment and improvement.

My tenure as Co-Chair of the SUNY Council on Assessment was a profound honor, rooted in the understanding that assessment catalyzes reflection, connection, and advancement. Through assessment, we document progress and unearth valuable insights that enable us to work smarter, not harder, and collectively strive towards shared objectives.

Before this role, I had the privilege of serving as the Faculty Council chairperson, an esteemed position bestowed upon me by my esteemed colleagues. Additionally, I currently serve as the Chair of Non-Academic Assessment at C-GCC, where I’ve led a team of dedicated individuals committed to excellence.

My involvement extends beyond my institution; I’ve also served as a board member on the Assessment Network of New York and actively organized SCoA Drive-In events. Moreover, my participation in the SUNY Remote Teaching Institute during the COVID-19 pandemic underscored my commitment to supporting colleagues in navigating unprecedented challenges and ensuring student success.

Join me in embracing the journey of continuous improvement and collective growth. Together, let’s harness the power of assessment to drive positive change and elevate educational experiences for all.
