“What excites me most about leadership in higher education is the opportunity to align mission, strategy, and people in meaningful and sustainable ways.”

As an Associate Dean of the School of Social Sciences, Communication, and Humanities at Endicott College, I have learned to hold the big picture while also building effective and human-centered systems. Co-chairing our institutional self-study for the Spring 2027 NECHE accreditation has deepened my commitment to institutional effectiveness through data-informed approaches to identify gaps, document growth, and support continuous improvement across the institution. 

My leadership philosophy centers on building fair and clear systems, creating intentional spaces for collaboration, and fostering trust through care, consistency, and follow-through. I believe effective leadership is not about one person carrying every initiative, but about building the structures, relationships, and shared commitment that allow people to work together and move meaningful goals forward.

I am a developmental psychologist by training, a strategist by practice, and a strong believer in cultivating communities where people can thrive. As a recent alum of the HERS Leadership Institute and Chair of Institutional Sponsorship and Membership for the ACE Women’s Network in Massachusetts, I am deeply committed to advancing women in higher ed leadership. 

I would welcome opportunities to connect with colleagues who are passionate about thoughtful leadership, institutional growth, and the future of higher education.
