In life, Nick takes a minimalist approach to things. As your Slate Strategist, however, he dives in with enthusiasm to get you the maximum return on investment. Having spent more than five years in college admissions marketing, Nick knows a thing or two about optimizing Slate for each audience. In his spare time, he is a cherry pie and donut connoisseur (not usually together), and enjoys surrealist art.‍

As a Slate Implementation Strategist for Carnegie, Ryan Simpson works with clients to get their Slate instance up and running using best practices and custom solutions for each institution.

His dedication to collaborating and working with clients to understand their unique goals helps ensure strong campaigns.

Courtney joined the Carnegie team last fall after working as a Client Support Engineer at Technolutions for two years. She enjoys the constant innovation and process development in the Student Success realm as every institution has the same end goal—retain students and promote a positive student experience—but the processes to accomplish that vary by institution. Courtney is motivated by the variety and challenge and is always up for talking about how to use Slate to help your current students.
