Helping institutions make public web systems more accessible, governable, discoverable, and easier to maintain.
I work with higher education and mission-driven organizations to simplify digital ecosystems, strengthen accessibility, and align content, governance, and technology with institutional goals — supporting both human users and emerging AI-driven discovery.
I'm a higher-education web and digital strategy leader with more than 25 years of experience in UX, accessibility, CMS architecture, analytics, and content systems. My work focuses on turning complex web environments into clearer, more accessible, and more governable systems.
As Director of Web Strategy and Digital Experience at Kankakee Community College, I oversee public-facing web strategy, accessibility governance, CMS architecture, analytics strategy, content standards, and AI-readiness initiatives. My role sits between institutional strategy and technical execution: helping digital systems serve users, reduce risk, and remain manageable over time.
Across roles — from web designer and developer to accessibility advocate, CMS architect, mentor, and digital strategy leader — I've guided redesigns, platform transitions, governance improvements, and accessibility compliance work. I prioritize practical systems that people can actually maintain.
I also work on emerging challenges in higher education, including responsible AI adoption, AI-readable content, summarization accuracy, digital accessibility, privacy alignment, and sustainable governance models.
These are the areas where I bring deep experience and practical leadership across higher education digital ecosystems.
