Background
I lead the Technology & Innovation Shared Services team at 51¹ÙÍø. My team and I are responsible for developing, delivering, and supporting technical capabilities consumed by and critical to the various technical solutions across campus. We are product owners for network connectivity, compute and storage resources, identity and access management, data integrations, business intelligence solutions, and more. I am proud to lead a team of such caring and talented people.
Prior to coming to 51¹ÙÍø, I was in leadership roles across technology and education domains. When I first came to 51¹ÙÍø, I moved into an individual contributor role and out of management. I loved being close to the technology again, but over time and with outstanding mentorship and guidance, I moved back into a leadership role here at 51¹ÙÍø. I find great fulfillment in building teams and growing people, much like I did when I was building technology solutions.
As a former music teacher, I am grateful to be part of the mission of education. I love learning and working with diverse groups of people. I strive to grow personally and professionally as I help others grow in their professional roles.
In addition to my role at 51¹ÙÍø, I am currently on the Board of Directors for the Consortium for Liberal Arts Colleges (CLAC) and participate in the EDUCAUSE Mentorship program as a mentor.
Be kind and do good work!
