Academic Technology Leadership for Colleges & Universities
Senior-level strategic guidance — interim Chief Academic Technology Officer, fractional leadership, and digital learning strategy — delivered in practical, time-bound engagements that move institutions from plan to impact.
About Me
I’m an academic technology leader with experience supporting colleges and universities through periods of transition, growth, and change. My work focuses on aligning academic technology, teaching and learning, and institutional strategy to help leaders make clear, defensible decisions that advance their academic mission.
I provide fractional and advisory academic technology leadership for institutions that need senior-level expertise without a full-time hire. I’m often brought in during moments of transition or modernization, offering a practical, collaborative approach that helps institutions move from planning to action while building sustainable structures for long-term success.
