A versatile consultant strategist with varied background in higher education, I'm passionate about helping VisionPoint's client partners reach and enroll best-fit students. I've led dozens of successful brand and enrollment marketing projects at institutions of all shapes and sizes across the U.S. As an executive leader, I've also managed all the services teams as well as the client experience and business development practices at VisionPoint, one of higher education's fastest growing marketing agencies and a perennial Top 10 employer in North Carolina. Before joining VisionPoint, I was a major gifts officer, the executive communications director and an adjunct member of the English department faculty at Gardner-Webb University. In particular, I led special advancement initiatives, from developing cases for support to overseeing cross-functional task forces to bring initiatives to fruition.I hold an MA in English from the University of Tennessee, where I won Hodges Awards for Excellence for teaching rhetoric and composition to first-year students. I've since pursued several continuing education opportunities, including an exec ed certificate in negotiation and competitive decision-making from Harvard Business School.
