Driven by making a difference in the world around me, I am an experienced leader in higher education and technology backed by a track record of success in shaping strategies, fostering partnerships, and driving business growth. I thrive in fast-paced settings, where making quick decisions and moving things forward are key, both for our business and our customers. Building strong relationships with clients and partners is second nature to me. I take the time to listen and understand the underlying challenges of a client and work diligently to offer solutions that allow us to work together to achieve great things. Trust and genuine respect are at the core of every relationship I build. My journey has taught me how to easily navigate through uncertainty, change, and complex environments. I love a good challenge, especially if it gives me the opportunity to make a positive impact on people, processes, and the organizations I serve. I believe authenticity, transparency and good communication are critical to the success of any organization and I work to foster open dialogue and thought leadership within my work environments.I have had the great privilege of working for small start ups as well as large corporations, with a few mid-sized organizations in between. While all very different, I have found ways to excel in each situation I have encountered. My career path has run the gambit including marketing, sales, client management, strategy, product management and customer experience. Some of key highlights include planning large sponsorship events like a meet and greet with the then new Disney star, Demi Lovato, launching the Florida market as the Sales Director for a start-up wireless brand, supporting top tier higher education clients like Johns Hopkins, Syracuse, and Babson College to grow their online programs and working directly with a well-known entrepreneur on a cutting edge EdTech platform for the global marketplace. My top five Clifton strengths are: Arranger, Relator, Futuristic, Belief and Activator. I am a DI on the DISC profile and an INFJ (though some would argue the introvert) on the Myers Briggs.#KnowledgeisPower,#Leadership, #Authenticity
