About Allison Dean

I\'m a passionate higher education sales professional dedicated to improving student learning, institutional effectiveness, and financial sustainability of colleges and universities through the use of technology. I aim to partner with leaders across campus so we can work together to create efficiencies within the day-to-day work. Ultimately, this partnership enhances assessment practices, promotes student success, and creates confidence in the long-term sustainability and growth of campus initiatives. During my years spent on campus, I worked directly with students through my roles as an academic advisor and learning specialist over a variety of student success and retention initiatives. I was driven through my work with students around academic success, self-advocacy, and learning skills. Over my career, I\'ve made the pivot from being in front of the classroom teaching study-skill strategies to working behind the scenes as I partner with campus administrators at various colleges and universities through technology. Ultimately, our collaboration and partnership should create a positive impact across an entire campus community.
