"How can I help?"The reply to this question is how I begin work with partners. Over the past five years, that work has taken a variety of forms in the areas of executive coaching, strategy, talent development, and governance. Specific projects have included consulting around strategy and execution, dashboards, enrollment, and governance, and serving as an executive coach to senior leaders and chief executives.

Helping colleges and universities achieve their missions by conducting search processes that are consistent with institutional mission and values, that attract strong and diverse candidate pools, and that result in leadership hires that meet the needs of the institution moving forward. Since January 2020, I have partnered on nearly 30 searches at more than 20 colleges and universities, including 10 presidential searches and more than a dozen others at the senior level. In addition, I am engaged in the Executive Coaching practice at Academic Search. Certified by the Gallup Organization as a Certified Strengths Coach and as an Associate Certified Coach by the International Coaching Federation, I bring a variety of coaching skills and approaches to the clients I partner with.
