I bring a rare blend of strategic leadership, wellness expertise, and systems design that directly supports organizations working at the intersection wellness and human-centered innovation.
For over 20 years, I’ve built programs and ecosystems that help people thrive. Most recently as Director of the Caroline Huber Wellness Center at New Jersey’s #1 community college, I designed and scaled a comprehensive basic-needs and mental-health support infrastructure that has:
Increased retention and graduation for underserved students
Delivered 13,000+ student engagements
Built multi-year partnerships with therapists, clinicians, and wellness providers
Produced measurable outcomes across academic, emotional, and financial wellbeing
I specialize in taking abstract concepts—wellness, belonging, leadership, mindfulness, emotional literacy—and turning them into high-impact curriculum, programming, dashboards, and learning experiences.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, mindfulness, yoga, and the Eight Dimensions of Wellness. I’ve trained faculty, administrators, and emerging adults using practices that are both evidence-based and deeply human.
Across all my roles—as a Director, Chief of Staff, strategist, and wellness leader—I’ve demonstrated the ability to:
Build cross-functional systems from the ground up
Design curriculum and training that changes behavior
Lead with empathy and clarity
Bring a visionary, values-aligned lens to complex problems
Create psychological safety, community, and belonging
Integrate data and humanity to drive measurable impact
