Turning Data into Institutional Strategy

Higher Ed Analytics | Evidence-Based Decision Making


I help colleges and universities make better decisions through data-informed planning, assessment, and institutional research. With experience as an Associate Vice Provost for Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Research and as an adjunct faculty member, I bring both administrative leadership and classroom insight to the evolving challenges of higher education.
