- Vice President and Dean, Academic Programs, Western Governors University School of Business
As an experienced academic and strategic leader, I design and scale innovative, industry-aligned academic programs that drive student success, improve operational efficiency, and equip learners with job-ready skills. I have a passion for transforming business education to meet the evolving needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s workforce.
With a proven track record of launching career-relevant programs, leading high-performing teams, and building strategic partnerships, I connect learning to opportunity in ways that are measurable and mission-driven. I thrive in matrixed, mission-driven environments—where cross-functional collaboration, adaptability, and data-informed decision-making are essential.
I’m committed to creating student-centered, outcomes-driven experiences. From P&L ownership and strategic program design to retention strategies and employer engagement, I lead with clarity, collaboration, and purpose—grounded in a holistic leadership style that values human connection, resilience, and lifelong growth.
