What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead student-success and educational operations that combine proactive advising, scalable systems, and data strategy to strengthen retention, persistence, and college pathways.

At Mid Michigan College, I lead K-12 operations for dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, Early Middle College, and CTE services supporting 1,600 students across 70 partner districts. I build advising workflows, supervise staff, and connect K-12 leaders with Financial Aid, the Registrar, and Academic Affairs.

Over 17 years, I've supported students from enrollment through completion, developed automated Target X retention strategies, and built operational dashboards using Informer 5, Google Data Studio, and Target X. I also co-developed the WAVE readiness pipeline to create scalable pathways for postsecondary momentum.
