Higher education is evolving faster than ever. From adapting to new technologies and shifting student expectations to rethinking how institutions deliver education, colleges and universities are feeling the pressure to evolve. The good news? Change doesn’t have to be daunting—it can be the key to unlocking new opportunities for your institution. That’s where we come in. I specialize in helping academic institutions navigate change. I work with college leaders, faculty, and staff to design and implement meaningful improvements that make lasting impacts. Whether you’re facing large-scale systems changes, reimagining campus operations, or preparing for the future, I am your go-to guide for change in higher education.
Guiding Colleges and Universities through Transformation
Here's the bottom line: I help higher education institutions change.
Focus Areas
Driving Institutional Transformation
Large-scale change in higher education requires thoughtful execution. I guide institutions in designing and implementing change initiatives that are responsive to the unique dynamics of their college culture. From system redesign to process improvements, we’ll develop a comprehensive approach that supports your institution’s goals while respecting its values.
Developing Leaders and Teams
Empowered leaders and cohesive teams are the backbone of successful institutions. I develop leaders and teams in areas critical to change such as change leadership in higher education, collaborative problem solving, and communication. Together, we can strengthen alignment across divisions and departments, and improve how teams work with each other.
Planning for Long-term Success
Successful institutions don’t just respond to change, they design for it. I help higher education institutions plan for their future by identifying factors that impact the needs, desires, and expectations of their stakeholders. Together, we will develop a roadmap that helps your institution develop the collective skill and ability to thrive in the ever-evolving higher education landscape.

I believe in providing insights, designing interventions, and co-creating solutions that are evidence-based, practical and effective.
