I specialize in professional development coaching and consulting, focusing on the impact and career satisfaction of women in academia. I also design and deliver professional development strategies, curricula and programming for institutions of higher education with the goals of retaining and advancing women and under-represented minorities into leadership positions. I have significant experience creating talent development strategy and programs that are proven to retain and advance high performers. As a former university administrator, I designed a competency model, talent development infrastructure, and a unique set of tools that enable faculty members to construct fulfilling career paths that also achieve organizational goals. I publish and present on many aspects of professional development including mentoring, coaching, retention, leadership development and models for career growth.
