Summary

Throughout my career at the CBE, I have consistently demonstrated a commitment to fostering a culture of open communication, critical thinking, and a keen understanding of the big picture while meticulously aligning the small details necessary to execute our shared goals and mission. My leadership style is characterized by a proactive approach that does not shy away from challenge, as I firmly believe that a constructive discussion can lead to innovation and growth.

One of my core leadership principles is ensuring the well-being and potential of team members. I believe that when team members feel valued and rewarded for their contributions, they are more motivated to excel. This, in turn, enhances overall team performance and contributes to our shared mission student success within the organization.
