As a Senior Director & Head of Strategy at Ithaka S+R, I lead our work to advance research-informed strategy, policy, and innovation to strengthen access, degree attainment, and the public value of postsecondary education.My exceptional team of 28 focuses on how state, system, and institutional leaders can implement scalable practices that expand college access, improve student outcomes, demonstrate the economic and civic value of higher education, and rebuild public trust. I oversee a cross-cutting body of work that connects research, evaluation, and implementation to real-world decision-making across the higher-education ecosystem.
