Her work in aligning direct and indirect measures with program outcomes, guiding her department through the full assessment cycle, and supporting faculty in using data to improve student learning has made a lasting impact. Her leadership has led to actionable curricular improvements and serves as a strong model for strengthening programs and closing the loop in assessment.
