Provost & Academic Affairs

I am thrilled to lead and  support the Pacific community in my role as Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs. I look forward to working collaboratively with faculty and staff on innovative practices and opportunities that will create a meaningful, equitable, and inclusive learning environment where every student has the means to thrive and succeed whether in an undergraduate program, graduate program, or both.

I am committed to continuing Pacific’s rich legacy of research, teaching and learning, and community engagement in support of each student reaching their educational goals. This wholly aligns with my dedication to Pacific’s mission to provide a “diverse and sustainable community dedicated to discovery and excellence in teaching, scholarship and practice.” In service to our students, I look forward to working alongside the Pacific community to “inspire students to think, care, create, and pursue justice in our world.”
