With deep expertise in community development, program development, entrepreneurial services and economic development, I am also an expert speaker and facilitator for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. My previous roles include tenures at the University of Wisconsin Parkside, Gateway Technical College, City Colleges of Chicago and most recently the YWCA of Metropolitan Chicago. In addition to my professional roles, I have served on many boards.
