Access and Opportunity in Education

I am committed to improving access, opportunities, and understanding in education. I regularly work with universities, K-12 school districts, public libraries, and community organizations to develop and implement training programs for faculty, staff, administrators, and community members. I have provided presentations, workshops, and consulting services to organizations looking to train their employees and change institutional culture to better serve the needs of all students, faculty, and employees. Examples include developing inclusive pedagogical practices, revising policies and enforcement practices, and building a better leadership pipeline.

Since 2019 I have also served as a coach with the NCFDD, helping university faculty across the U.S., Canada, and the UK to improve their research/creative productivity and work-life balance through empirically tested strategies. I work with pre-tenure and mid-career faculty to help them align their time with their priorities and values, improving their levels of job satisfaction (as well as productivity) and reducing burnout. To date, I had worked with more than one hundred faculty across a range of institutional types: small liberal arts colleges, flagship state universities, elite private schools, and regional comprehensive universities. In 2025, I served as a subject matter expert and coach of a new NCFDD course on “Rethinking Your Research Funding.”

University Administrative Experience and Academic Program Review

As a result of my administrative experience on college campuses, I am available to provide workshops, trainings, consulting services, coaching, and keynote speeches. I also have experience with external program review, grant and fellowship application evaluation (including for the National Endowment for the Humanities), book prize committees, and other professional activities.
