Jessica Gilmore, EdD

As the Director of Executive Ed at UVU, Denni has taken a fledgling program to a thriving one in just over a year. Her eye for what’s exciting coupled with her management and recruiting skills make her an asset on any team!

I’ve so enjoyed, and will miss, Denni's professionalism, soft skills (especially communication skills and responsiveness), and growth-mindset. As my manager/teammate on so many programs here at CTSI, she personifies emotionally intelligent management and leadership.
