About
- Degrees: PhD
- Affiliation: Deputy Director, Postsecondary Success, Gates Foundation
- Your connection to community colleges? I’ve worked in postsecondary education for 20 years, including working at a community college in Ohio in advising and student services and as an instructor for first-year student success courses. I also spent four years leading holistic student support redesign efforts for Achieving the Dream, a national nonprofit supporting community college transformation.
- What do you love most about the NC Community College System? Being raised in North Carolina and with extended family still based in my mom’s small hometown in southeastern NC, I care deeply about the ability for communities across the state to thrive. I see the NC Community College System as a core part of ensuring economic mobility and opportunity for communities and individuals in this state that I love.
- A fun fact about you? I have two kids (10 years old and 4 years old) and live in Chapel Hill in a house across the street from mom—a dream come true!
