Hello, my name is Ryan. I first joined the Texas Tech K-12 curriculum team as a student assistant in October 2008 to assist with the conversion of taking print courses and placing them online. In 2009, I transitioned to the Student Services team where I assisted customers with various challenges and questions they had about the program. In December 2010, I left to fulfill a dream of working in the amusement park industry. However, I found that I missed working with students and parents. I returned to Texas Tech K-12 in February 2013 to assist with the day-to-day operations of its international program. Since then, I've had opportunities in functional support and assisting the school's administration with reporting and analysis. In September 2017 I was named program manager – Operational Support. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, watching sporting events, visiting landscape architecture historical sites and riding rollercoasters.
