Consulting
Higher ed strategy that starts with the student.
I work with colleges, universities, and education organizations on the marketing, systems, and communications that shape how students find, choose, and stay at an institution.
Start a ConversationThe Approach
I'm not interested in strategy that only looks good in a deck.
The work has to make sense for students, staff, and the systems people actually use. I've built this stuff from the inside, not consulted on it from the outside. That difference matters.
What I Help With
Aligning marketing, onboarding, communications, and student support around a clearer, more human student journey from first inquiry through completion.
Building messages and pathways that help students understand their options, take action, and keep going. Written for real people, not committee approval.
Planning, deploying, and optimizing AI-enabled student engagement tools. Chatbot strategy, knowledge base development, CRM integration, and staff adoption.
End-to-end review of enrollment communications, digital presence, and student touchpoints. Findings and recommendations delivered with clear implementation priorities.
Keynotes, working sessions, and leadership briefings on student experience, AI in higher ed, and enrollment strategy. Available for conferences and institutional teams.
