Currently searching for leadership positions in higher education (Dean, Vice President) and the non-profit sector (Executive Director, Chief Operating Officer) as a result of NJCU terminating my leadership position, along with many others, in July 2022 due to its massive fiscal crisis that included a substantial $20 million deficit.
