Dr. Jacqueline Olson<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, I’m Jackie, and education runs in my veins. My journey has been incredibly fulfilling, from K-12 teaching to state department collaborations, to three decades in higher education. Currently, I’m the Director of Academic Success for Assessment at a large online university. I thrive on turning data into compelling stories that help academic leaders make smarter decisions. But honestly, what I love the most is teaching and helping others achieve their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also passionate about my dog. Meet my 9-year-old, deaf Staffordshire and Blue Heeler mix! Beethoven loves long hikes and excursions through the neighborhood with me. He’s always by my side in my office, keeping my feet warm as I work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
