About me

I have more than forty years in financial aid at an array of institutional types. For the last 13+ years, I have worked with Regent Education, a financial aid software provider. My focus is on compliance and regulatory issues for traditional structures and for 'nontraditional' models such as nonterm, borrower-based academic years, subscription periods, etc.
