Bio
Edit

I'm the CEO of Science Interactive, which serves over 800 campuses around the country focused on expanding access to STEM education through online science education. Building on my decades of experience in higher ed, I joined SI in 2022 to help institutions in looking to increase enrollment and reach more students by offering quality online science programs. Previous to Science Interactive, I served as the Chief Product Officer at Liasion and CEO at TargetX, where I worked to transform the company into a complete student lifecycle solution and become largest provider of enrollment solutions on the Salesforce platform. At Science Interactive, I am able to blend all aspects of my varied background -- leading a company that offers SaaS, technology-empowered products, and lab materials that help expand scientific literacy.

Beyond these positions, I am a results-driven technology executive with a strong entrepreneurial attitude and a history of developing strategic plans to improve revenue growth. My background is in leading large, distributed teams and creating a unified business culture focused on achievement. I am a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley.

  • It's expensive to build new labs...in the ballpark of 7 to 10 million dollars for a campus to build new labs. We look to maximize opportunities for institutions to expand access to the campus lab experience without that cost and most importantly without compromising quality or rigor.

  • What's Science Interactive? We're like Blue Apron for science education...Just like getting your cooking kit shipped to your house for a chicken piccata, we give you everything you need for your online chemistry course in one kit so you can take college-level lab courses from home. We're help institutions provide access to lab-grade equipment and campus lab experience no matter where a student learns from.

  • We want to give students the opportunity to put theory into action. In addition to building their confidence, students can explore unfamiliar concepts at their own pace, learn fundamental lab safety techniques, and conduct mock experiments digitally, all before walking into the campus laboratory. We want instructors to have the opportunity to spend their face-to-face time with students going deeper into practical application and engaging in more meaningful interactions. We help instructors deliver an even more effective learning experience that supports better outcomes and student success.
