My Story

I have been fortunate to work for industry leading companies throughout my 25-year career within positions of leadership. I intimately understand the demands of a results driven environment. My passion is creating solutions for my clients, developing strong teams, and leading new initiatives.

My early career centered around commercial finance where I collaborated with small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. It is here where I cut my teeth in data analysis. I’ve poured over many tax returns and annual reports to determine the financial trends and predict long-term growth. I pride myself in producing budget and revenue forecasting that is within 5-10% of year-end actuals.

The 2nd chapter of my career, I decided to move into a relatively new and growing industry – online media. I’ve seen online media grow from people saying the “internet is just a fad” to it being an integrated part of our daily lives. During my time in online media, I ran operation teams that supported over $100 million in revenue for a portfolio of clients. Clients ranged from small “mom and pop” companies to the Big Three Automakers.

Which brings me to why I’m here – my 3rd chapter. I bring my passion for leadership development, data analysis, and operational excellence to you, Program Directors of PA programs. To support you in developing top-notch programs for your students, faculty, and university. I’ll listen to your needs, work with you to establish goals and metrics, collaborate throughout the process, and celebrate over results gained. I can help you remove roadblocks so that your team and students succeed in the short term and thrive in the long term.

Let’s get started and unlock the potential of your program!
