What attracted you to Pace?

I loved the campus locations and the roles each campus played in its neighborhoods and communities. I had heard some nice things about how collaborative the leadership team was, and that has been true!

How do you contribute to the success of Pace?

First and foremost, I think about our reputation among our many audiences: students, parents, current faculty and staff, elected officials, and alumni. The list goes on and on. Universities play an immense role in peopleÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™s lives and people tend to have strong feelings, both good and bad. I think our team really has tried to build PaceÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™s academic reputation since I joined. ThereÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™s much more to do, and IÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™m excited for our new branding project which will help each campus compete better.

What is your favorite aspect of working at Pace?

I feel like I can make an impact on important matters. In many ways, Pace is a bit smaller than the other organizations that IÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™ve worked for, so I always feel close to big decisions.

What hobbies/activities do you like to participate in outside of work?

I love to play basketball and travel. At one point in my life, I was a professional basketball coach overseas, so I was able to combine my two favorite hobbies. But then reality set in. Coaching is a tough life.

If there is anything else, that you would like to share with the Pace Community?

I think itÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ™s crucial that everyone who works here ÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ“ faculty and staff ÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ“ feel pride and build pride. Culture building is truly a shared responsibility, and I hope everyone comes to work excited to make Pace just that much better every day. Energy and optimism build and helps make Pace an even better place to work.
