Dr. Garrett began her career in education by driving the successes of two online graduate programs for Pepperdine University in Educational Technology, which has led to over twenty years of progressive administrator experience in both the online and ground platforms.

She presents nationally and internationally on topics related to authentic leadership, academic readiness, and student success areas.

While education is her focus, she also has several years of experience within the counseling field, specializing in crisis intervention and trauma recovery.
