Executive impact
Executive impact in practice.
These examples show how I use data, clarify expectations, coordinate teams, and put practical systems in place. Results distinguish measured outcomes from work implemented.
01
Performance improvement
Multi-campus operating results
Challenge. Align academic operations across two campuses with enrollment, retention, and student-success expectations.
Leadership action. Directed academic operations, analyzed enrollment and persistence data, coordinated advisors and faculty, and translated institutional priorities into plans and accountability measures.
Result. For Fall 2026 Track A, continuing-student FTE reached 117.4% of combined forecast. Both campuses exceeded continuing-student enrollment and retention forecasts. These are campus results achieved through collaborative institutional work.
02
Service coordination
Late-start student success initiative
Challenge. Students joining after classes began needed timely help navigating course access, materials, schedules, and attendance expectations.
Leadership action. Designed individualized outreach for 60 students registered during the first 10 days of Fall 2026. Coordinated advisor follow-up and triaged barriers to participation.
Result. Implemented a targeted outreach and follow-up process for 60 late-start students, with barriers identified for advisor action.
03
Staff development
New-faculty onboarding and support
Challenge. New faculty across two campuses needed a clear way to surface instructional, technology, policy, and resource needs.
Leadership action. Established proactive check-ins to identify needs and connect newly appointed faculty with campus support.
Result. Put a structured check-in process in place across two campuses to support onboarding and early issue identification.
04
Policy and program requirements
Grant-recipient information sessions

Leadership action. Designed and facilitated information sessions translating grant requirements into actionable eligibility, participation, and completion expectations.
Result. Delivered program-specific guidance that clarified recipient responsibilities and participation requirements.
05
Statewide coordination
Membership retention and reengagement
Challenge. AAUW New York State needed a coordinated response to members whose renewals had entered the grace period.
Leadership action. Used membership data to identify 148 members across 19 branches. Launched targeted branch outreach and built a centralized tracker for responses, renewal intentions, follow-up, and confidential Angel Fund referrals.
Result. Launched a statewide outreach process and tracking system connecting branch follow-up with financial-assistance referrals. Renewal outcomes are tracked as responses arrive.
06
Governance and accountability
Board oversight and policy leadership
Challenge. Mission-driven organizations need clear policies, reliable governance records, and continuity in board leadership.
Leadership action. As Webster Montessori Board Secretary, support policy review, official records, strategic planning, and organizational oversight. At the Rochester Police Accountability Board, chaired the Rules Committee, partnered with the Training Committee, and assumed Board Chair responsibilities as needed.

Leadership philosophy
Strong organizations pair accountability with care.
I lead by making complex priorities actionable. That means building clear structures, listening closely to the people closest to the work, using data to surface what needs attention, and following through until a solution is working in practice.
My experience spans K–12 education, higher education, nonprofit leadership, public governance, and community service. Across those settings, I focus on clear expectations, equitable access, staff development, and responsible use of resources.
