DEI | CEO: Catalyst to Excel

I love to learn and I’m a passionate student of personal development and leadership.

I have a reputation for developing others and creating a culture of learning and encouraging others to strive for excellence based on commitment, determination, and energy. My experience in Higher Education Executive Leadership includes Human Resources, Financial Aid, Admissions, Administration, Budget & Finance, and Project Management. Recognized as an influencer and skilled presenter, I drive for people and cultural connection to bring entities together, build strong communications, and engage in activities that support successful job/talent alignment.

As Executive HR Consultant and Director of Human Resources (CEO and CHRO), I provide executive leadership, coaching, training, consultancy and perform business management of finances and general business dealings. I understand the big picture through the lens of a visionary and strategic HR architect.

Throughout my career, connecting with diverse levels of organizational design and development, I understand and appreciate possibilities and potential of others’ unique talents and gifts. My hands-on ‘lead by example’ style fosters a culture of teamwork, shared mission and dedication. As a conservative risk taker, I reinvented myself several times – from New Jersey to Arizona and North Dakota, and London. Each change and challenge have given me opportunities to gain fresh insight, learn innovative skills, and meet interesting people.

Recognized for relationship building, I communicate easily with all cultures and levels of administrators, employees and external constituents. I’m focused on organizational effectiveness and people enablement along with practical, thoughtful actions that promote positive outcomes and deliver best in-class initiatives.
