Consulting for Business and Education

Three business professionals sitting at a table discussing a document with charts, with a pen, notebook, and tablet in front of them.

I help businesses, colleges, and nonprofits design and fund programs that strengthen their workforce and expand their impact.

With more than 20 years of leadership experience as a Dean and senior administrator, I understand both the educational and business sides of workforce development and how to connect them for measurable results.
