I am a purpose-driven leader known for taking on highly complex problems and big ideas at the enterprise or system levels. I conduct the appropriate analyses to identify opportunities and patterns, then quickly synthesize the essential parts, engineer the needed systems and processes, and implement technology to build a strong foundation for future growth. I’m also recognized for comprehensively and transparently aligning strategy with stakeholders and resources and for shaping cultures that endure. Because I am naturally curious and always learning about a wide range of topics, my comprehensive solutions are timely, relevant and distinctive. I’ve also earned a reputation for resetting a team’s vision to being bigger and broader, while gaining their trust so that what seemed too big or impossible, becomes possible.I have held a variety of roles across the University that have included creating new educational programs, leading cross-university efforts focused on saving for college and household financial security, and financial planning & analysis for the $1 billion unrestricted operating budget. Prior to joining the Notre Dame administration, I was a consultant for Protiviti (formerly Andersen) in Chicago. As a student at the University, I earned my bachelor’s in business administration while studying finance and computer applications (information technology consulting).
