About

I am an administrator with more than 15 years of experience in higher education. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to contribute to several different functional areas and at two major public research universities. I worked in student affairs at the University of Nevada for seven years to start my career, and more recently in academic affairs and graduate education since 2018. In my current role, I direct the academic program review process for existing graduate and undergraduate programs at the University of Washington across all three campuses.
