Who I Am
Executive leader. Strategist. Builder. Always with the human first.
I bring a rare blend of leadership, technical fluency, and human-centered design. Across higher education, enterprise systems, AI strategy, online learning, video, web, and learning design, my focus has stayed the same: make complex tools clearer, more useful, and more aligned with real human needs. My doctorate in Educational Leadership strengthens the way I approach strategy, change, and the people behind every system.
My work has always been cross-functional. I’ve led institution-wide projects, chaired advisory committees, workgroups, and task forces, and partnered with executive leaders, IT, faculty, and end users to move complicated work forward without losing the people inside it. My approach is simple: listen first, look honestly at what’s already in place, name the real gaps, and recommend something the team can actually run.
Today I lead AI strategy and adoption, oversee the institution’s digital and online learning and educational technology department, manage compliance for web content accessibility and inclusive course design, and coordinate assessment and data tracking across more than 40 service departments. I design learning and development with a UX and LX lens, train and facilitate across modalities, and produce video and media that helps the work feel human.
Earlier in my career I led new student programs for master’s and doctoral students, owning admissions, recruitment, enrollment, and matriculation all the way through degree conferral. The skills travel. What I do moves the needle in higher education, and translates directly into any industry that runs on people, systems, and learning.
“I move complicated work forward without losing the people inside it.”
