As the Senior Vice President for Enrollment Management at Drexel University, I lead the strategic planning and implementation of all aspects of student enrollment, from recruitment and admission to support retention and graduation. I have over 25 years of experience in the higher education industry and hold an Ed.D in Educational Leadership and Administration from Lindenwood University.

My core competencies include program evaluation, student access/enrollment, crisis management, and tuition revenue maximization. I have a proven track record of improving enrollment metrics and graduation rates, as well as restructuring financial aid and enhancing student life-cycle. I am an innovator with creativity, public policy, social justice, and data-driven focus, who is a skilled storyteller and an accomplished public speaker, coach, leader, and mentor. My mission is to create a diverse, inclusive, and accessible learning environment for all students and to foster their academic success and personal growth.
