My professional journey began in higher education, where I discovered my passion for helping students and professionals navigate academic pathways. Over the years, I’ve specialized in degree audit systems, curriculum design, and professional mentoring, combining technical expertise with a dedication to fostering growth and learning.

Currently, I’m completing my Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Denver, where my research explores gamification in professional development. Through Saunders Professional Development, I create tools, resources, and strategies that help individuals and institutions build meaningful skills in a dynamic and engaging way.

Beyond my research and business, I am deeply committed to mentorship and community building, drawing on my leadership experience in regional and national professional associations to connect others with opportunities for growth.
