Background

My professional background includes leadership roles across nonprofit, arts and educational organizations. I currently serve as the executive director of a literary arts nonprofit and a professor. I have extensive experience designing programs, leading teams, managing operations and working with community-based and institutional partners.

My academic training includes doctoral- and master’s-level study in education, information systems and organizational leadership. I have taught at the university level and facilitated learning experiences for adults, youth and professionals in both academic and community settings for over two decades. 

This combination of creative practice, formal education and executive leadership shapes how I approach speaking, teaching and consulting work.
