In today’s evolving higher education landscape, institutions face urgent pressure to do more with less—while also increasing student engagement, improving retention, and demonstrating workforce relevance. Declining enrollment and economic constraints are prompting many colleges and universities to consolidate services and rethink traditional structures. These challenges demand not just new systems, but new ways of working—breaking down siloes, rebuilding trust, and reshaping long-standing cultures that can impede progress.

Career education is central to that transformation.

When done well, career development fosters purpose, belonging, and agency—three of the strongest drivers of student persistence and success. It also plays a critical role in advancing equity, post-graduation outcomes, and institutional value.

I partner with institutions to design and strengthen career education ecosystems that are:

*Strategically aligned with institutional mission, enrollment, and student success goals

*Scalable and efficient, even in lean operating environments

*Embedded across academic and co-curricular experiences

*Equitable and inclusive, supporting all students with differentiated, wraparound career support

*Responsive to workforce and employer needs

*Grounded in evidence and impact

Whether you're consolidating student services, centralizing career functions, expanding employer relations, redesigning your experiential learning strategy, or moving beyond entrenched cultures and mistrust toward a common vision, I bring deep expertise, a collaborative mindset, and a future-focused approach.

At its best, career education connects learning to life, purpose to possibility, and institutions to the communities they serve. My work helps make that connection visible—and sustainable.
