I began my academic career quite a while ago, finishing my bachelor’s degree from the University of Dayton in 1995. It was not without some fear of the unknown that I embarked on this journey with Oregon State University.
Not only had I not been in school for over 20 years, but the way that school was presented was totally different. I transitioned from learning in person — taking notes using pencil and paper and going to the computer lab — to a fully remote OSU Ecampus learning environment with Canvas. It was quite a change in philosophy for me.

I was able to take part in the Ecampus program through my employer, SnapNrack, who funded the whole endeavor in an effort to expand the capabilities of our leadership team. I live in San Luis Obispo, California, and have thoroughly enjoyed being able to fit my schoolwork around frequent work trips, some crazy hours and my family life.
Had I enrolled in a traditional in-person program, I would not have achieved the success that I now enjoy. The flexibility of Oregon State’s online program allowed me to achieve honors in the engineering management program and now graduate with my master’s degree.
