Change Management Consultant | Fitness Industry Entrepreneur | Multi-industry Salesperson | Adjunct Faculty

With over 20 years of experience spanning leadership, sales, consulting, and education, I’m passionate about helping individuals and organizations grow through strategy, development, and measurable results.

My career blends business strategy, workforce education, and professional development across sectors, from corporate fitness and entrepreneurship to higher education and EdTech partnerships.

→ University of Rhode Island: As Assistant Director of Professional and Executive Business Education, I oversee the development, delivery, and continuous improvement of graduate, professional, and executive programs. My focus is on workforce development, strategic partnerships, and innovative learning solutions that drive growth for organizations and individuals.

→ The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS): As Chapter Advisor at the University of Rhode Island, I mentor students in leadership development and career readiness. I guide chapter operations, support programming, and help students translate learning into meaningful outcomes.

→ For Those Who Would: As a Board Member and Treasurer, I contribute to a mission that empowers individuals with chronic illnesses or injuries to engage in athletic and recreational activities.

Throughout my career, I’ve led teams, built client relationships, improved processes, and exceeded sales targets by combining data-driven strategy with authentic leadership. I value collaboration, accountability, and clear communication, the fundamentals of sustainable growth and effective change.

In my role at URI, I’m committed to creating impactful educational experiences that strengthen organizations and accelerate professional success. If you'd like to connect about workforce partnerships, learning innovation, or leadership development, let’s start the conversation!

Founder, CEO and Consulting Executive

I started my role as Assistant Director of Professional and Executive Business Education at the University of Rhode Island - College of Business one year ago today.

What a year it's been!

From zooming around Rhode Island, most often with my fellow Assistant Director Mileiry "Milly" De La Cruz, M.Ed., meeting incredible people at AM breakfasts, lunch and learns, and business after hours events, to working with an exceptionally dedicated team inside Ballentine Hall. Introducing new programs and processes, refining established ones, and collaborating with talented colleagues across campus has been energizing and rewarding.

Along the way, I've had the chance to facilitate workshops with Navy Prospective Executive Officers, nonprofit healthcare teams, IT professionals, hospitality pros, and others. I've also had the privilege of guiding and learning from our Student Marketing Associates.

Add in visiting nearly every coffee shop in the state, and it's been a great year. It's been especially meaningful to see individual learners commit to graduate study and organizations find value in our leadership, workforce development, and educational partnerships.

Grateful for year one and excited for what's ahead in year two!

#GoRhody!

I took 17 years between my undergrad degree (all in-person) and starting my MBA (all remote).

Then, I jumped straight into my MSOL, adding certifications like HRCI's aPHR® and Project Management Institute's CAPM®, all while transitioning from fitness leadership to edtech sales, consulting, and adjunct teaching, and now higher ed partnerships and enrollments.

Your path doesn't have to be linear or traditional. Mine certainly wasn't and still isn't.

Wherever you are on your learning journey, the University of Rhode Island - College of Business can support you, whether as an individual learner or as a leader seeking strategic workforce development solutions to upskill and reskill your employees.
