Why You Will Enjoy Working With Me

I am practical and collaborative.

I've been there. I established, led, and supported equity and HR offices at several academic institutions, both as an internal employee and a consultant. As a result, I have an understanding not only of law and policy, but how to work with the various campus constituencies, including human resources, trustees, administration, faculty, students, and campus police.

I've done the work. Over the past fifteen years, I have conducted or overseen hundreds of investigations, conducted dozens of hearings, served as an advisor, written and revised policies, and trained thousands of students and employees on policies and laws. I have significant experience in each stage of the misconduct processes and, consequently, understand how to successfully guide individuals through the misconduct process.
