Successful youth and families are essential for healthy communities and society. With an authentic, persuasive, results-driven approach, I lead nonprofit education and employment programs resulting in thousands of young people entering the world of work. From the first paycheck to self-sufficiency, my work helps others build skills for success. My role as university faculty fuels my need for learning and builds the next generation of change makers. I hold great pride in the successful nonprofit and public-sector careers of my former students, now colleagues and collaborators.
