about

Currently, I am an independent consultant working with Higher Education clients. I bring 20+ years of experience in higher education working in various dynamic, goal-oriented environment in several department/divisions. Delivering solutions to all levels of the organization. From C-level executives all the way to end-users with open, productive communications, leadership and networking within and outside the organization. Proven success in building bridges needed for problem solving in complex systems. 

From 2007-2017, I was part of University of the Pacific. First working as the Enrollment Management’s web developer, developing web applications for the division and in Oct 2013 taking on the roll as the Business Analyst/CRM Manager. As the CRM Manager, I worked with various units on all three campuses to develop business processes and communication flows to leverage the power of our CRM to manage and communicate with the various constituents on and off campus. I also managed the day-to-day operations of the CRM.

Before Pacific, I worked for eight years, serving as webmaster and DBA in the Viterbi School of Engineering at USC working with partners like NASA Ames Research Center, JPL, Boeing developing web sites, web application and managing intellectual portfolio databases for each.

Born and raise in Stockton, CA , but also spent some time in Oakland and 15 years in Los Angeles. Educated at the University of Southern California (USC) and San Joaquin Delta College (Delta).

Always seeking to be inspired, to figure out the seemingly impossible, to work harder and smarter, and to be surrounded by those who challenge but respect me.
