Jennifer is a Faculty Member/Course Mentor at Western Governors University since February 2016.

JoDee received her Ph.D. in Organization and Management from Capella University; her Master of Science from Central Michigan University; and her Bachelor of Business Administration from Western Michigan University. She has spent the past ten years consulting for small businesses in start-up operations, growth strategies, and turn-around planning; human resource compliance; and payroll operations. Prior to WGU, she has seventeen years of higher education experience serving in a multitude of positions from faculty to administrative leadership, where she led a team of 11 deans formulating strategy for the business college, developing new programs, monitoring assessment and curriculum, and developing faculty. Prior to that she was in corporate training and advertising. Her recent journey to WGU as a course instructor combines two of her favorite professional activities: mentoring and development of competencies among professionals.

Kristin Eller has been in higher education for almost 20 years, working closely with learners, educators, and leaders to implement change and increase success at personal, team, departmental, and enterprise levels. She has served in multiple roles as a higher-ed leader, including as an Academic Dean, before beginning her WGU career as a program mentor in 2015 with the undergraduate College of Business programs, mostly specializing in IT Management. Kristin has since served WGU as a manager and senior manager of program mentoring faculty for the Business Management, Human Resource Management, Marketing, and MBA programs within the College of Business before transitioning into her current role as a Change Manager. Her passion in education – whether as a faculty member, leader, administrator, or change practitioner – will always be working alongside people to help them evolve, grow, and lean into their purpose to identify and create new possibilities for themselves and for their organizations.

Kristin has spoken at multiple academic and professional conferences, including regional chapters of the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) and for state and local chapters of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). She is the recipient of multiple academic and leadership awards and has served as a business volunteer in her community by facilitating teambuilding, communication, goal setting, and resume-writing/career building workshops for Junior Achievement, local athletic teams, and her local women’s domestic violence safe shelter. She also currently serves as a regular ghostwriter for several monthly lifestyle publications and as a freelance editor. Kristin holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in English with a Creative Writing concentration, so when she is not focusing on change management, you can find her carving out time for reading and writing while she navigates life with her husband, Will, their children, and their bossy and pampered dog, Duke.
