When I was five, I first set foot on a college campus. My mom, a non-traditional student, brought me to class because she didn’t have backup childcare. On that snowy day, I fell in love with the transformative energy of education—the diversity of thought, the exchange of ideas, and the sense of possibility. That early exposure didn't just spark a career; it ignited a lifelong inquiry into how educational and non-profit institutions function, communicate, and serve their communities.

This passion drove me to spend over two decades in the field, analyzing and optimizing organizational narratives. My approach to Strategic Communications and Systems Theory is grounded in real-world application. I have led complex initiatives that resulted in significant organizational shifts—including increasing enrollment by 85% and driving a 20% improvement in brand recognition. My work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and Parents, demonstrating the importance of translating research into action.

My commitment to organizational behavior extends to the human element of service, particularly concerning employee engagement, student success, and organizational culture.

I leverage this background to bridge the gap between academic theory and professional practice. My research and teaching focus on the intersection of strategy, communications, and culture. I thrive when I am empowering the next generation of leaders, helping students navigate the complexities of organizational change, guiding them to ask critical questions, and preparing them to lead with resilience and clarity.
