As an empowering leader in academia for over 25 years, I have always focused on my decisive and effective operational leadership skills. I can envision how the individual components of an organization fit together and work to build a quality organization committed to creating great partnerships that matter to students, alumni, faculty, the local community, and to higher education collectively. Higher education is powerful–it can change lives. By focusing on the economic model of education, colleges and universities can empower all students to be successful. I thrive in leadership roles where I can transform and improve the lives of people by helping them realize their greatest potential, therefore positively impacting the surrounding community and society as a whole.While upholding the best interests of students and faculty, I lead with empathy, respect, data-driven ideas, and cross-cultural sensitivity while being approachable. I am someone who communicates easily and is thoughtful in my engagement in order to create a climate of confidence, transparency, and accessibility. I have experience in leading university operations, information technology, student advising, enrollment management, financial aid, student life, facilities, and career services. I also have a strong understanding of how to leverage technology to maximize efficiency. I am well versed in strategic planning and budgeting; IT assessment, consulting, benchmarks, and outsourcing; analytics; staff development and training; project management; web-based education; and contract management.Albeit I am confident in my ability to lead, I am always looking to expand my knowledge. I am a quick study, eager to learn, and highly flexible. Connect with me today to learn how I can contribute to high-achieving results at your college or university.
