Areas of specialization: lifelong learning, professional continuing education, and program development

I joined Conferences and Institutes in 2007 as a program coordinator for Elderhostel programs. Today, as a program director, my portfolio includes lifelong learning programs and professional conferences. I develop and direct Elderhostel programs on the Urbana-Champaign campus and in downtown Chicago. (For a schedule, visit http://www.continuinged.uiuc.edu/oce-sites/conferences/elderhostel.cfm.)  I also work with curriculum partners to develop and coordinate continuing education workshops on campus and in the Chicago area.

My professional background includes experience in marketing and community liaison work in heath care as well as association management. I hold a Master’s in Gerontology from Eastern Illinois University and a Bachelor’s in English Literature from Millikin University.
