I help our affiliates collaborate.
I focus on listening to the challenges that institutions, employers, and regions are facing and then connecting those with solutions we have within the affiliate network. I work closely with multiple affiliates to help them stack products and services in order to solve complex problems. Also, I help the affiliate network and stakeholders from Strada understand the solutions available within our network.
Here's the first step for college students
I started out as a coach supporting students directly. Then I moved into supporting staff, then administrators and university leaders. This path has been phenomenal for me because I started out by listening to students, aka end users. Don't underestimate the value of an entry-level role that connects you with the people using the service or product - it will help you make systems, policies, and products that better support those users.
