From 2018 through 2025, I worked as the President of America’s first trade school, North Bennet Street School. Together with the remarkable faculty, staff, and students, and with the support of the Board of Directors, Advisors, and community of alumni, the School thrived through challenge during my tenure.

I was first hired at Cranbrook to oversee the areas of Academic Programs, Recruitment, Admissions, and Financial Aid. Over time, I was promoted to Dean at the Academy, which broadened my role to include leadership with the Artists-in-Residence (faculty), partnership with Development + Fundraising, as well as the Cranbrook Educational Community and greater Detroit.

As an active member of the national Fulbright community, I advise student applicants on a volunteer basis. From 2008 to 2016, this was as a member the Fulbright Committee at the Cranbrook Academy of Art.
