About

I’m the Provost and Dean of Faculty at Goodwin College where I oversee all academic activities and lead the college faculty. Prior to my current role, I spent two decades at Goodwin College in positions including Assistant Vice President of Academic Affairs, Health and Natural Sciences Department Chair and Medical Assisting Program Director. As both an educator and a parent, I am passionate about Universal Design for Learning (UDL), an educational approach centered on the idea that students learn best when they are provided multiple opportunities to access content, engage with it and show what they know. I’m always eager to connect with other educators interested in UDL and serving diverse and non-traditional students.
