As Chief Executive Officer, I work collegially with the College Executive Cabinet, College Leadership Team, faculty and staff in overseeing and orchestrating the successful implementation of technical educational programs, on/off campus classes, business and industry/workforce development training, policies, procedures, budgets, student services programs, and ensure that the regional strategic plan is achieved through the college’s programs, services, and activities in alignment with LCTCS systemwide priorities and objectives. I work with community and civic leaders and elected officials to help bring resources to the region, to ensure our programs meet the short and long-term needs of area business and industry, and to forge area/community collaborations in order to provide regional services including university offerings, distance education, dual enrollment, adult literacy, and more. Driven by a strong desire to lead and serve within a progressive learning centered and market responsive college, expanded access to higher education and workforce training is fundamental as we build the future of our nation post pandemic and ensure global competitiveness of our graduates. As Chancellor of Northshore Technical Community College, I have benefited from being closest to the impact as our college has transformed local and regional economies through innovative curriculum design and a collective responsibility to advance student success. With over twenty-three years of experience in higher education, I have led key initiatives within our college and system of community and technical colleges to advance dynamic opportunities for students through a holistic college and career readiness platform.
