I’m excited to share my executive biography, which reflects more than 30 years of leadership across higher education, government, education, nonprofit service, and organizational development. I’ve been fortunate to build a career focused on helping others succeed through authentic leadership, strategic thinking, and a belief in the power of communication. I’m grateful for every opportunity to learn, lead, and make a positive impact, and I look forward to continuing that journey through board service and new leadership opportunities.
