As a strategic HR executive with over 25 years of experience in athletic leadership, I’m passionate about driving organizational growth, fostering diversity, and creating inclusive environments. I’ve had the privilege of serving in senior leadership roles across NCAA Division I and II institutions, where I’ve led initiatives in human resources, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and athletic operations. My focus has always been on crafting strategies that enhance operational excellence, drive revenue, and build dynamic, high-performing teams.
Throughout my career, I’ve managed multimillion-dollar budgets, including over $120 million annual budget at the University of Miami, and have a proven track record in fundraising and community engagement. I’ve led initiatives that resulted in an increase in fundraising at Fort Valley State University and a membership growth at the Advancement of Blacks in Sports (ABIS). I thrive on developing partnerships that promote both community outreach and athlete development, ensuring that every initiative aligns with long-term organizational goals.
I’m also passionate about advancing DEI efforts within the athletic space. From leading the creation of a DEI webpage with 300+ daily views to spearheading diversity recruitment and gender equity initiatives. I’ve worked to ensure inclusive practices are at the core of the organizations I serve.
