About
I am a leader in higher education, startups, and publishing who specializes in creating and scaling innovative, high-impact, global initiatives that expand access to learning. I enjoy working cross-functionally to integrate creativity, emerging technology, and sound pedagogy into learning experiences that drive student success, without jeopardizing accessibility, inclusivity, and engagement.
I have had the pleasure of partnering with colleagues across myriad disciplines to make outside-of-the-box thinking a practical reality. Together, we have found space around limitations and provided new pathways to education for anyone who wants it, anywhere in the world.
I have been a key player in the ground-up creation and growth of leading-edge initiatives at ASU, including The Sandra Day O’Connor Part-time Online JD, Study Hall, Dreamscape Learn / NeoBio, and Universal Pathways (FKA Global Freshman Academy).
Accolades and achievements:
--2X ASU President’s Award for Innovation winner: Dreamscape Learn (2023); Global Freshman Academy (2017).
--4,000+ students have earned ASU admission to date via Universal Pathways.
