About

Driven operational leader in higher education with a deep foundation in data analytics and collaborative, cross-functional teamwork. I am an analytical and detail-oriented individual who excels at understanding people and bringing them together to accomplish shared goals. I earned my B.S. in Applied Mathematics-Economics from Brown University and have a decade of corporate experience in economic consulting and data analytics. After a career break, I pivoted to higher education at Purdue University, first in project management with a Provost-funded cross-functional research project and now in graduate engineering professional education. I earned my M.S. in Higher Education with a College Teaching concentration.
