Serving at the intersection of Education, Race, and Workforce. I have more than 15 years of experience navigating the higher education landscape, proving my ability to establish partnerships, foster community, build consensus and execute campus-wide initiatives. I thrive in environments that provide an opportunity to make meaningful impact, with a strong mission and a visionary leader. Recently named the Northwest Regional Director for Western Governors University in June 2020, I help guide the strategic direction of the nonprofit, online university and further raise its profile among prospective students and partner organizations across a nine-state territory. I am primarily responsible for the operations in Colorado to raise brand awareness and add a high-quality, flexible, and affordable online option to the state's higher-ed portfolio. Additionally, as co-founder of Invizibee, I advocate for professionals of color to be represented in leadership positions across the Denver Metro Area. Invizibee assists employers to attract, develop and retain black and brown professionals. I oversee partnership development, and I'm responsible for the strategies used in talent sourcing, recruiting, retention and leadership development. The company’s purpose reflects my personal mission and commitment to inspire and elevate a diverse and representative group of emerging leaders in our community. Previously, I served in several roles within the University of Colorado system, most recently as the Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships for the University of Colorado Denver. In that position, I collaborated with industry leaders to establish jointly beneficial partnerships and ensure the university met crucial, workforce needs. I also launched and led the University Partnerships steering committee comprised of decision makers from each school, college and key, on-campus business unit. Before that, I served as Director of Student Success for the Office of Digital Education at the University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus, where I managed the full, online-learning experience, including student recruitment, academic support and career services. I am a graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, where I studied communication and journalism and received a master’s in sport administration. Additionally, I recently completed the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Denver fellowship, and the University of Colorado's Excellence in Leadership program.
