Expertise Where It Matters Most

Every engagement is tailored to your institution's goals, culture, and context — no templates, no one-size-fits-all solutions.

01

Navigate the process with confidence.

Accreditation Consulting

Programmatic accreditation is one of the most consequential — and demanding — processes a health sciences program undertakes. I work with programs across healthcare disciplines, bringing deep, current familiarity with accreditation standards, self-study processes, and site visit expectations. My experience as an accreditation evaluator informs every engagement — giving your program the insider perspective needed to prepare thoroughly, respond strategically, and emerge stronger. This consulting practice is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of any accrediting body.

Ideal for: Health sciences programs across disciplines preparing for initial accreditation, reaccreditation, or responding to accreditor feedback.

What's Included

  • Self-study preparation and document review
  • Gap analysis against current accreditation standards
  • Site visit readiness coaching and mock visits
  • Response to areas of concern or non-compliance
  • Ongoing compliance monitoring and support
  • Faculty and staff preparation workshops

02

Build curricula that endure.

Program Development

Great programs don't happen by accident. They are designed with intention — grounded in professional competencies, responsive to student needs, and built to evolve. I partner with faculty and academic leaders to create or reimagine curricula that are rigorous, student-centered, and aligned with the demands of contemporary practice.

Ideal for: Programs launching new degrees, revising existing curricula, or aligning with updated professional standards.

What's Included

  • Curriculum design and mapping
  • Competency-based learning outcomes development
  • Course sequence and credit hour analysis
  • Fieldwork and experiential learning integration
  • Assessment and evaluation framework design
  • New program feasibility and launch planning

03

Translate vision into action.

Strategic Planning

Strategic planning in academic environments requires more than a polished document — it demands honest assessment, inclusive process, and a realistic path forward. I facilitate planning engagements that are grounded in data, shaped by stakeholder input, and designed to produce strategies that actually get implemented.

Ideal for: Departments, programs, or schools navigating growth, change, or institutional realignment.

What's Included

  • Environmental scanning and SWOT analysis
  • Stakeholder engagement and facilitation
  • Strategic goal and priority setting
  • Implementation planning and accountability frameworks
  • Program review and continuous improvement processes
  • Enrollment and resource planning support

04

Develop the leaders your institution needs.

Academic Leadership Development

Effective academic leadership is learned, not inherited. Drawing on decades of experience as a program director, department chair, and academic dean, I offer coaching, mentoring, and structured development experiences that build the capacity of current and emerging leaders in health sciences education.

Ideal for: New and experienced academic leaders, department chairs, program directors, and deans seeking to grow.

What's Included

  • One-on-one executive coaching for academic leaders
  • Leadership development workshops and retreats
  • New chair and program director onboarding support
  • Faculty governance and shared leadership consulting
  • Conflict resolution and team dynamics facilitation
  • Succession planning and leadership pipeline development

05

Guide students through their college journey.

College Counseling

The college admissions process can be overwhelming — but with the right guidance, it becomes an opportunity for students to discover who they are and where they want to go. Drawing on extensive experience in admissions and enrollment management, I work one-on-one with prospective students and their families to navigate every stage of the college journey with clarity and confidence.

Ideal for: High school students and families seeking expert, individualized guidance through the college search and admissions process.

What's Included

  • Personalized college list development and fit assessment
  • Application strategy and timeline planning
  • Personal statement and essay coaching
  • Interview preparation and presentation skills
  • Financial aid and scholarship guidance
  • Enrollment decision support and transition planning
