Frequently Asked Questions
My Approach
Large institutions, especially in higher education, often carry deeply rooted traditions and cultures. I work with respect for those realities, creating space for open and honest dialogue that leads to practical ways forward. My approach blends systems thinking with straightforward communication, translating big ideas into actionable plans.
I believe meaningful change does not have to be disruptive. When you take steps that people can manage and celebrate the wins along the way, progress has a way of building on itself. Momentum like that is what makes progress stick.
