Creating foundations of trusted data to guide our decisions is a consistent thread throughout my career. Building on decades of data-related work in higher education, I bring a broad perspective to data management conversations. Integrating my graduate studies in social service administration into my approach to project implementation enables me to work fluidly with leaders from a variety of sectors, combining change management and project management techniques to truly aid in successful organizational change.
