With over 20 years of experience in higher education leadership and management, I have a proven track record of building strategic collaborations, leveraging resources, and achieving growth within and across institutions. As the President of the Tuition Exchange, a nonprofit organization founded by colleges and universities, I collaborate with our 700+ member institutions to make post-secondary education more accessible and affordable for faculty, staff and their dependents.My passion for higher education stems from my own academic journey and research. I hold an EdD in Higher Education Management from the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied the challenges and opportunities of interim presidencies and leadership transitions in academia. I have also written and spoken on various topics in higher education, such as STEM education, diversity and inclusion, and enrollment strategy. As the founder of CACHET, a higher education association of over forty colleges and universities dedicated to promoting opportunities for students in STEM, I have been a strong advocate for policies and programs that support access, equity and inclusion for individuals of all backgrounds.
