About Me

As vice president for strategic initiatives and chief of staff, I work directly with the president on a wide range of strategic initiatives. I provide leadership in a number of dimensions including university-wide strategy development, community relations, government relations, and provide comprehensive support for the Office of the President and the Board of Trustees. 

I represent the interests of the President and University to various internal and external constituencies.

I am a past chair of the Association of Governing Boards (AGB) Board Professionals Leadership Group and serve on AGB’s Council of Board Professionals. 

I proudly joined the Widener University community in 2016.
