As the vice provost for academic affairs, I collaborate with OHSU academic and student affairs professionals to promote student success and wellbeing, while guiding them to their future professions. I work closely with leadership, faculty, staff and students to support positive and meaningful change at the university through a variety of activities, including but not limited to developing and maintaining academic policies, awarding scholarships, developing new and innovative academic programs, and overseeing the non-academic HR management of OHSU’s Graduate Researcher population.   

As a native Oregon, I’m deeply committed to OHSU’s role in the higher education landscape and I'm proud to welcome students from my home state and beyond to the OHSU community.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest with my husband and my dog Rudy, traveling, March Madness, and cooking warm meals on rainy Oregon days.
