About
My years of experience in educational leadership, project management, and disaster preparedness, I have consistently contributed to advancing institutional strategies for student support and resilience. My work reflects a commitment to aligning care systems with student success initiatives, promoting equity, and fostering a culture of shared responsibility across higher education systems.
What I'm looking for
I'm interested in working for an organization that promotes student (or client, or user) success and positive mental health climates in education settings, and who also takes those goals seriously for their employees.
