Building accessible, sustainable, and AI-aware platforms that serve people and purpose.
I help higher education and mission-driven teams reduce digital complexity, strengthen accessibility, and align content,
governance, and technology with institutional goals — for both human users and AI agents.
Let's connect or start a thoughtful conversation.
I'm a higher education web and digital strategy leader with more than 25 years of experience in UX, accessibility, and content systems. My work centers on creating clarity within complex digital environments — ensuring alignment between user experience, institutional strategy, and long-term sustainability.
As Director of Web Strategy and Digital Experience at Kankakee Community College, I oversee the college's digital ecosystem, leading accessibility governance, CMS architecture, analytics, and AI-readiness initiatives. My focus is on shaping web infrastructure that supports people, protects privacy, and strengthens organizational integrity.
Across roles — from CMS architect and accessibility advocate to mentor and systems designer — I've guided teams through redesigns, policy shifts, and governance transformations. I approach every project through the lens of clarity, ethics, and long-term maintainability.
I also collaborate with peers across higher-ed and nonprofit sectors on emerging challenges: ethical AI adoption, summarization accuracy, digital equity, and sustainable governance frameworks that evolve with technology and expectations.
From strategic leadership to accessible development, these are the areas where I bring depth and practical experience:
Aligning digital ecosystems with institutional structure, legal readiness, and organizational goals.
WCAG/508 compliance, inclusive design, screen reader readiness, and equitable access planning.
WordPress, SharePoint, Jekyll/CloudCannon, Git-based systems, and content workflows for sustainable content management.
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node — including CI/CD, structured data, and responsive frameworks.
DNS resilience, uptime strategy, SEO, and AI parsing awareness.
Ethical adoption of AI tools to enhance accessibility, governance, and operational efficiency.
A few examples where I've led digital strategy, accessibility improvements, and CMS architecture — delivering scalable, user-centered solutions in higher education and mission-driven contexts.
Lead strategist for the college’s public-facing platforms and intranet — including CMS modernization, AI-aware schema, and long-term governance upgrades.
Led redesign and CMS rebuild for a regional economic development organization. Delivered a content-forward, accessible site aligned with organizational goals.
