Biography

I leverage creativity, critical thinking, and innovation to build belonging, a culture of care, and solutions that actually work for people. With nearly 40 years of leadership spanning business, governance, and technology—including 14+ years in higher education—I excel at balancing $100M+ budgets, supporting technology, and collaborating through shared governance and with unions to empower teams.

Today, I serve as a Senior Fiscal Analyst at Glendale Community College for the Maricopa Colleges, with a heart for lifelong learning and lead The Copper Wire, LLC (www.thecopperwire.net), a consultancy dedicated to Bringing Joy Back to Business™. When I'm off the clock, you’ll find me with family, friends, and pets, listening to music, participating in advocacy work, hiking, cycling, or cultivating growth in my garden and in the people I mentor.
