Bio

After a career in college unions and student activities for more than two decades, I now serve as the Principal and Executive Consultant for Excelsicore Consulting.  I provide organizational development seminars, retreats, and custom tailored programs on:
  • Strategic planning
  • Mission, Values, and Vision Statements
  • Change & Transition management
  • Building Healthy & Cohesive Teams
  • Community Building
Fortunate to have served as the (Executive) Director of student unions and activities departments at four Universities: University of Washington, Virginia Tech, University of North Florida, and Jacksonville University.  Having been responsible for areas including Student Government, Student Activities, Union Operations, Renovations and Construction projects, Esports, Campus Recreation, Leadership Programs, Student Legal Services, and a Disability Cultural Center, my career has been filled with incredible students and colleagues along with more lessons that I can ever recount.

My Student Affairs Professional experience includes college union management, organizational development, advising students, co-curricular activities, leadership training, campus programming, campus recreation, and emergency management. My facility management experience has included the construction of 2 student unions, overseeing 5 total student unions, supervising professional and student staff, and managing multi-million dollar budgets. I have taught leadership courses at Jacksonville University and led workshops engaging students in their own personal development. I have a passion for helping others to exceed their own perceived potential and making a little dent in the world.

My PhD is in Higher Education from Virginia Tech with a research focus on understanding the role of the college union in building students' sense of community. I hold a certificate in Educational Research and a specialization cognate in non-profit business management. You can find my dissertation here: https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/handle/10919/82402.
