Where Research Meets Practice

Bridging scholarship and leadership in higher education

Thoughtful innovation

Supporting Faculty

Faculty are at the center of student success, research innovation, and community impact. My work emphasizes practical strategies that strengthen academic life — from mentoring and leadership development to resources that help faculty balance teaching, scholarship, and service. By investing in faculty, institutions invest in their own long-term vitality.

Expanding Access

Higher education must be built for everyone to participate fully. I focus on accessibility and inclusive design in course content, digital tools, and institutional practices, ensuring that barriers are identified and removed. Expanding access means creating conditions where all students and faculty can contribute, succeed, and feel that they belong.

Connecting Research & Practice

Scholarship is most valuable when it improves the way we teach, learn, and lead. I draw on research in higher education, faculty development, and organizational change to inform faculty programming and institutional initiatives. By connecting evidence with practice, I work to bridge ideas and action in ways that support faculty, enrich the student experience, and strengthen the broader academic community.
