Quin Jernigan, Ph.D. M.Ed.

Accountability. Integrity. Ethics.

I wanted to build something that was true to who I am as a person, colleague and working professional.

Leading with integrity and applying ethical principles and considerations to the work that we do is important. By creating CHESS, I wanted to create an organization and network that strives to uphold high ethical regard and respect for not only our clients, but for education as a whole.

A native of eastern North Carolina, Quin has always had a passion for education. With a wealth of experience in higher education, she has been able to leverage her network, technical expertise and professional experience into something greater: Contemporary Higher Education Solutions (CHESS).

Recently, Quin has expanded her business to include learning experience design, leveraging xAPI in industry to create and refine learning experiences, and consulting with other organizations to expand access and impact of technical and non-technical training.
