Letters of Recommendation from Colleagues and Professionals
To whom it may concern:
I have had the honor of working with Lisa Sheldon Brown
for eight years, as colleagues at Pearson Education, Arts and Sciences Higher
Education division. Lisa is a true professional who consistently surpasses
everyone’s expectations and often leads the charge to establish new programs in
support of our higher educational learning technology resources.
Lisa is particularly known for her love of educational
technology (a bit fanatical some would say) and willingness to be the first to
develop and drive ideas for getting our higher educational technology MyLab resources
to the market and creating effective ways to help our users successfully
integrate these technologies. Additionally, Lisa is an English discipline
curriculum expert who can not only train on the use of Pearson’s MyLab
technologies, but partner with instructors to help them develop technology-integrated
curriculums which are appropriate for their individual course and departmental outcomes.
Lisa is a natural leader. In her role as a Pearson
English Product Specialist the 20+ reps she coached and mentored in the Western
U.S. region viewed Lisa as a "go-to resource" and "problem-solver"
- a reputation that was well deserved. Lisa was such a successful English
Specialist that when she opted to transition to a less travel-intensive role
she was quickly recruited by Pearson’s English Media team to become a Key
Account manager. Lisa now works with our largest MyLab users across the U.S. to
integrate MyLab technology in the framework of their individual curriculum
requirements and develops specific training programs to ensure all full-time
and adjunct instructors are fully trained.
When educational technology was just emerging, Lisa was
a #1 fan. She knew the potential technology could offer instructors and
students; she realized the tremendous impact technology could have on teaching
and learning. Lisa has contributed to the development and widespread usage of
Pearson’s MyLab technologies in more ways than can be mentioned. And, if this
sounds over the top it is because Lisa is as passionate about technology in the
classroom as anyone I have come across in education.
I have worked closely with Lisa Brown
at Pearson Education for over four years.She and I have collaborated on campus wide technology presentations,
plan and design, and implementation of Pearson’s online educational resources
and materials for higher education institutions across Southern
California.
I extend a very high recommendation to you regarding Lisa. I have
seen her work with faculty and her colleagues on numerous occasions and find
her to be a competent and capable professional. Lisa was in integral part in
implementing our English Online programs throughout Southern
California. She sought out the needs of the colleges, and
maintained the relationships so that the rollouts could be a success. I
believe Lisa will be very successful in anything that she does. Her
passion for higher education and the English language makes her a perfect fit
for the Masters of Science in Educational Learning Design and Technology at Purdue University.
Lisa has deep expertise with regard to education technology and
English. She understands the Pearson English products in great depth, and
I have found her knowledge of our English text to be very impressive. She
does careful and clean work. She is very responsible. She shows up to
appointments on time and is productive on project work. She enjoys friendly and
professional relationships with everyone. She is a pleasure to work
with.
Lisa’s skills, commitment to higher education, and general
personality are traits that you should not overlook. I believe she will
contribute to the overall success of your program and highly recommend that you
consider her.

Amie
