What is your area of expertise and how long have you been working in this field?
My experience in higher ed centers around revenue innovation. For the last 8 years, I’ve worked in and with universities to develop strategy, build relationships, and formalize technology and operations to activate new revenue from corporate partnerships, lifelong learning, and international expansion. At Noodle, I focus on understanding university challenges and building solutions to make their infrastructure more effective and efficient with Noodle technology.
Why did you choose to work in education? How have your educational experiences shaped your career?
As a daughter of immigrants, I’ve always been told education is the key to opportunity. I experienced it as the first to graduate college in my family and continued to see how education combined with passion could fuel innovation during my time at The New School. I am thrilled now to be part of an organization that enables higher ed to be more accessible, more relevant at all stages of life, and to reach broader, new, and more diverse student populations.
What is it about your background or career experiences that successfully positioned you for your current role at Noodle?
Before joining Noodle, I spent six years at the New School exploring alternative revenue opportunities like corporate partnerships, executive education, and online learning. My experience in university innovation deepened my appreciation for the culture, challenges, and potential within higher education. Like many institutions, The New School faced the challenge of honoring its legacy while embracing necessary changes for the future. This experience has made me more empathetic and effective in understanding their needs and connecting them to the product solutions we create.
Throughout my diverse career, I have consistently focused on fostering collaboration across teams and organizations, developing a common language, and driving toward a shared vision. This collaborative approach has enhanced my ability to support universities in building tailored solutions that meet their unique needs.
When you think of great leadership, who comes to mind? Why?
Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand. She led with empathy, made tough decisions and policy choices based on what she felt was right for her country (even if it garnered criticism), and she became a mom while acting as the world’s youngest female head of government! Her quiet confidence and ability to get things done while also showing vulnerability and staying true to herself is something I deeply admire.
Please tell us something about yourself that people would be surprised to learn.
I worked in event planning (mostly weddings) throughout college. It is the job that taught me to maintain a calm presence even in utter chaos, to improvise quickly, and to fix almost any wardrobe issue with some combination of superglue, baby powder, and clear lip gloss.
