Why are you in this work?

My experience of attending college without obtaining a formal degree has led me to appreciate the value of postsecondary credentials and how high-quality credentials can substantially improve your quality of life and provide upward economic mobility.

Why ESG?

I was familiar with ESG and its mission from my work in state government higher education. ESG is an important influencer and agenda setter, providing the highest-quality support to state and local systems across America. I am committed to supporting the hard working, intelligent ESG staff as they continue the critical work across our nation.
