ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥

University Registrar at the University of Pittsburgh

2025 ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ Elections Candidate - 2026-2027 N&E Committee Member

Position Statement:

I became an ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ member in 1999 and attended an Annual Meeting for the first time in 2000.  Over the past 25 years, and registrar’s office roles at four institutions in four different states, ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ has been my consistent connection and home within the professions.  I have felt certainty throughout my career that ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ played an indispensable role in my preparation for each new professional step.  Gratitude for that inspires my desire to continue to contribute to ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ and the membership in some way that may partially offset all I have gained from it.  As indispensable as ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ has been for me throughout my career, I believe ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ is essential to the professions, and my desire is to contribute in ways that ensure ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ continues to demonstrate this to its members, our institutions, and through the success of students.  I am committed to ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ and want to continue to be a servant leader within the Association.  Thus, it would be a privilege to serve the ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ membership as a member of the Nominations and Elections Committee.  If elected, my goal would be to help identify and encourage future leadership from amongst the membership to ensure that ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ continues to serve and advance higher education through professional excellence and leadership in enrollment and academic services.  I expect it would be particularly gratifying to work collaboratively with the members of the next Nominations and Elections committee to help identify the future leaders of the Association.
