About Kent
I love education, business, and people, so UAA is a natural fit for me. I enjoy working with the nuts and bolts of an organization to improve systems, streamline processes, and help things run more efficiently. I’m especially energized by the collaborative and creative atmosphere at UAA, where innovation, teamwork, and a shared commitment to students make the work both meaningful and rewarding.
