Summary
As a certified Title IX & Compliance Coordinator, I specialize in ensuring educational institutions uphold gender equity and prevent discrimination. My role involves investigating complaints of sex discrimination, monitoring institutional operations for potential inequities, and providing comprehensive training on Title IX policies. I am committed to fostering environments that are free from sexual harassment and discrimination, ensuring students and staff understand their rights and responsibilities. With several years of experience in Human Resources, I bring a strong background in talent acquisition, employee engagement, and compliance management. I’ve successfully led recruitment initiatives, built a social media presence for Talent Acquisition, and developed meaningful employee programs such as the Employee of the Quarter surveys. My goal is to create and maintain safe, inclusive environments both in education and in the workplace. I am passionate about ensuring all individuals—students, faculty, staff, and visitors—feel supported and empowered in their rights.
