My leadership roles in higher education were over teams of admissions advisors tasked with lead generation, community outreach, and student retention. We have established a strong culture and high-level of morale. Each staff member understood the value of aligning their passions with the organizational mission.

I have conducted B2B outreach for the past 10 years. From small business consultation to Fortune 500 organizations, my skills have been proven through multiple performance awards. Beyond the corporate world, I have also excelled at military, local government, and education outreach efforts.
