Aaron Reed, Ph.D., Ed.D.
Educator, Author, Results-Driven Leader
I am an enthusiastic, energetic, optimistic leader who always seeks to improve those around me. My greatest passion is helping others achieve their potential through education. There are so many challenges in today's higher education environment and through innovation and attention to results we can create positive change. I thrive on dynamic and complex challenges and love working with others toward a larger goal.
Throughout my career, I have garnered deep academic and professional experience in both the software development / high-tech industry and in higher education administration. This somewhat unique background provides me with a STEM- and technology-oriented perspective which is perfectly suited to today's education environment.
My Personal and Professional Philosophy
What drives each of us personally or professionally? What makes some of us so motivated to "succeed" and what makes others not seek the same goals? What is "success" anyway? Each of us is motivated differently and each of us has his or her own definition of "success."
As for me, in short, I am an eternal optimist and always strive to improve myself, organizations with which I am involved, and to help those around me discover and reach their own potential. To read more about my personal and professional philosophy, click the link below.
