Experiential Learning | Industry Partnerships | Founder, Pike Street Education

Welcome to my page. I design experiential learning programs that empower students to become active participants in the learning process, and I specialize in developing partnerships that connect students and faculty to professional development and research opportunities with industry partners. I am a student-centered program director, community builder, and entrepreneur with extensive experience designing, scaling, and leading co-curricular and experiential learning initiatives that complement students’ academic coursework with dynamic real-world experiences and hands-on learning opportunities.

Areas of Expertise
Experiential Learning – Leading and designing off-campus programs, practicums, internships, co-curricular professional development initiatives, immersions, and career treks.
Tech and Industry Partnerships – Connecting universities to the Silicon Valley ecosystem and building pathways in entrepreneurship education, leadership development, mentorship and innovation.

My Philosophy and Approach
My work is grounded in a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside energetic and compelling college students every day. I am endlessly optimistic about the future and I recognize the important role that colleges and universities play in developing the ethical leaders of tomorrow. I am intentional about creating opportunities for reflection in all my programs and I am passionate about student development. I am a supporter of institutional innovation and transformation to serve the ever-evolving needs of students in the 21st century, and I am deeply committed to the liberal arts.
