I’m an equity-driven leader with over a decade of experience in higher education, nonprofit leadership, and restorative justice facilitation. My work centers healing, access, and belonging through wellness-focused systems change, strategic partnerships, and culturally responsive program design.Currently serving as Assistant Vice President of Access & Community Engagement at Jefferson Community and Technical College, I lead campus-wide wellness initiatives, supervise DEIB-focused programming, and collaborate with community partners to support student success. I also serve as a restorative practices consultant and have taught Peace, Justice, and Conflict Transformation at the university level.Whether in the classroom, boardroom, or community circle, I believe meaningful change is only possible when people are seen, heard, and valued. I'm passionate about building ecosystems of care that support justice, sustainability, and liberation—for individuals and institutions alike.Let’s connect if you’re passionate about education, equity, wellness, or re-imagining how we engage with one another to heal and grow.
