With more than two decades of leadership experience across healthcare, government, nonprofit organizations, education, and community development, I have dedicated my career to building high-performing teams, improving operations, and leading with humanity.
I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA), a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice — combining strategic business expertise with operational excellence and people-centered leadership.
My belief:
Leadership begins where metrics stop. Organizations grow when people feel respected, empowered, and inspired to contribute their very best.
