As a Trinity alum I believe learning should build on the lived experiences and unique expertise that each student brings to the table. My goal is to support personal and professional growth through education that’s empowering practical and purpose-driven.

With more than 20 years as both a federal executive and professor of organizational leadership I blend real-world insight with academic rigor.
