Senior Director with 12+ years of experience, specializing in driving transformative results through data-informed decision-making, analytics, and agile best practices. I orchestrate growth through cross-functional collaboration while fostering an inclusive and equitable environment.

My expertise lies in using data-driven insights to develop strategies and empower teams to excel. Throughout my career, I've delivered positive outcomes, including 10%+ revenue increases, labor cost reductions of at least 25%, and a talent for cultural transformation. My journey includes returning to school for my MBA after gaining professional experience. This experience allowed me to recognize the importance of diverse voices at the table, particularly as a Black woman, for driving positive change.

At NYU, I embraced diversity and honed my ability to advocate effectively. This foundation has been instrumental in my career, where I deliver results while promoting inclusivity. I am dedicated to cultivating environments where everyone feels safe and empowered to share their unique ideas and perspectives.
