Background

About Ben White

During my professional life, I have focused my attention on growing as a leader, manager, mentor, and coach to help others grow, develop, and accomplish their goals. I am intentional, focusing on the professional development of team members to create meaningful roles and opportunities for them to thrive. I combine this with providing team members the autonomy, space, and grace to accomplish their work within the structure of the team. It's been a recipe for success during my career, culminating in my department being named one of the top ten offices to work for in 2023. I cut my teeth at Loyola Marymount University, experiencing a mission-driven philosophy which has heavily influenced my work. I learned the importance of clearly articulating the mission, vision, and values of a program as they influence everything you strive to accomplish. I also had a growth and development philosophy instilled in me, which has carried through for me as a professional and as a youth sports coach. I’ve been involved in a variety of professional and volunteer activities. I’m a licensed attorney and have volunteered my time as a certified mediator for a local community organization. In 2014, I founded the San Diego Student Conduct Officers Group as a space for local conduct offices to connect and discuss student conduct related topics. I coached youth sports for several years, including time with tennis, baseball, basketball, flag football, and soccer teams. I enjoy helping the next generation grow and develop on and off the field. I’m interested in widening my network, assisting colleagues with their work, and serving as a mentor. Feel free to reach out and connect with me.
