I am a visionary leader with experience driving strategic technology initiatives and digital transformation in higher education. My career is built on a foundation of innovation, collaboration, and a deep commitment to empowering institutions through technology.

I lead the development and execution of a forward-thinking IT strategy that aligns with the institution’s mission to provide an exceptional academic experience. My work has included modernizing enterprise systems, advanced cybersecurity practices, and fostering collaboration across a campus community of over 6,000 users.

In previous roles, including as Executive Director of IT and CISO at the University of Cincinnati Foundation, I successfully reimagined IT operations to enhance infrastructure, strengthen security, and align technology with institutional priorities. My ability to bridge technical expertise with business strategy has consistently delivered impactful outcomes, from improving data governance to streamlining operations.

Beyond technology, I am a passionate advocate for fostering inclusive and innovative campus cultures. My leadership extends to speaking engagements at renowned conferences like EDUCAUSE, where I share insights on leveraging technology to transform higher education.

Recognized as one of the 30 Higher Ed IT Influencers to Follow in 2023 and a 40 Under 40 Cybersecurity Leader, I bring a global perspective to leadership, shaped by my experiences as a Fulbright Scholar, Yale World Fellow, and Mandela Washington Fellow.
