About Us
I started my career in public education teaching 7th grade social studies through AP and dual credit US History, I also served as a public-school administrator. What excites me about working with Dual Enrollment, and education in general, is the opportunity help facilitate and provide next level learning experiences to students. As a former teacher and administrator, it was always a great feeling to help students achieve their goals in and out of the classroom; and now getting to help them achieve at a collegiate level is more exciting. I am excited and proud to be a part of Trine University’s Office of Dual Enrollment.
Jonathan Baker ~ Director of Dual Enrollment
I am the Assistant Director of Dual Enrollment at Trine University. I started my career as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, teaching in Mexico, South Korea, and the U.S. Throughout my career, one of my goals has been to prepare people for the next part of their lives. I am dedicated to this mission and I am glad that I can do this for high school students who are transitioning onto their next stage of life here at Trine. Since I began in 2019, I have enjoyed working with school administrators, teachers and students themselves. It has been very interesting to see the growth in online learning and I am excited to see what might be next for students in our program.
Graham Reeves ~ Assistant Director of Dual Enrollment
I am a Design Engineering Technology major here at Trine University. I grew up in Fairmount, Indiana, where I attended high school and did wrestling, football, band, and coached a youth wrestling team. I am currently working as the Student Aid for the Office of Dual Enrollment. I chose to attend Trine because of the personal touch I felt they provide. I really enjoy the small class sizes because I feel like I am more than just another student. I feel that each professor cares about their student's education and wellbeing. As a Trine Student, I am provided with many academic and social opportunities that will provide me with the right knowledge and skill set in the workplace after graduation.
