I am a higher education leader with over a decade of experience advancing student success, retention, and holistic development across residence life, academic support, and campus ministry contexts.Currently serving as the Director of the Academic Success Center at Ouachita Baptist University, I lead institution-wide initiatives focused on early alert systems, academic intervention, tutoring, and student persistence. My work centers on creating structured, data-informed strategies that promote student flourishing while fostering a culture of accountability, support, and belonging.My professional background includes extensive leadership in Housing & Residence Life and Student Conduct at East Texas Baptist University, Ouachita Baptist University, and the University of Arkansas at Monticello, where I supervised large teams, managed residential communities, and contributed to behavioral intervention and student care efforts through the University Behavioral Intervention Team (UBIT).I also bring a strong foundation in teaching and faith-based leadership, having served as an adjunct professor and in multiple ministry roles, including Associate Minister and Youth & Young Adult Pastor, Senior Pastor. These experiences inform my commitment to integrating character development, spiritual formation, and academic excellence.My doctoral research explores how institutional systems cultivate cultures of honor while mitigating shame to support student success. I am passionate about building collaborative campus ecosystems that align mission, policy, and practice to enhance student outcomes.AwardsJim & Thelma Williams Award for Outstanding Service As a Church Minister at East Texas Baptist UniversityStudent Success is not a one-time program; it is an ecological breathing system.
