About Me

As a first generation college graduate and student parent, I am all in on equitable access and stronger institutional support for all postsecondary students. With policy and research experience at the institutional, state, and federal level, I understand the complicated landscapes and silos that occur where ambition and ideas meet practicality. My goal is for my work to help improve and inform practice and policy design so they reflect the needs of a dynamic higher education system and the diverse students it serves, leading to more better outcomes for all postsecondary learners. 

My work represents a vision where:

• Postsecondary institutions are constantly striving to be student ready

• The practice experts on the ground have an equal seat at the policy table and recognize themselves as the leaders they are

• The lived experiences of students are validated and respected as community-building assets

• A credential is not another hoop to jump through, another line on a resume, another unfulfilled dream—it is an actionable demonstration of commitment, learning, and investment that generates equitable mobility and prosperity for all
