As a forward-thinking leader in higher education, I am dedicated to leveraging my expertise in project management, collaboration facilitation, and strategic direction to drive impactful outcomes. My approach is informed by the Clifton Strengths of learner, analytical, achiever, discipline, and input, enabling me to develop innovative solutions to complex challenges. I excel in harnessing the collective strengths of team members, partners, and diverse stakeholders to streamline processes and enhance business practices. Committed to fostering connection and teamwork, I firmly believe in the transformative power of collaborative efforts to achieve strategic objectives effectively.
In my role as the Director of Academic Transfer Credit Solutions within the Provost’s Office, I oversee new transfer initiatives and the evaluation of undergraduate transfer coursework—domestic, in-state, international, and Global Education. I am responsible for building transfer pathways with partnering institutions and organizations, researching transfer policy solutions, and maintaining the Transfer Guide (tcg.asu.edu) to ensure exceptional service for the ASU community.
