About Lisa Henderson

I have built my career around one core belief: when people are given the right support and opportunities, they can achieve more than they thought possible.In my current role within the Center for Teaching & Learning at Sacred Heart University, I lead academic support initiatives that help students succeed, persist, and build confidence. My work spans tutoring, supplemental instruction, writing support, and the development of 250+ peer educators and staff.Before transitioning into higher education, I spent over a decade as an entrepreneur, founding and operating a real estate brokerage. That experience continues to shape my approach - I build systems, lead teams, and design solutions that are both strategic and student-centered.I am particularly committed to expanding access to academic support and creating programs that meet students where they are. Whether teaching First-Year Experience courses or developing new initiatives, my goal is to create environments where students feel supported, capable, and connected.Core Skills & Tools:Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Photoshop & Acrobat Pro, Web Development, CRM Tools (Zoho, Streak, TotalBrokerage), Google Workspace, Email Marketing (MailChimp, Constant Contact), Project Management, Document Writing, Task Automation (Zapier, PowerAutomate, PowerApps), Forms Software (Qualtrics, MS Forms) and Exceptional Written/Verbal Communication.
