As campus dean I served as Senior Academic Administrator at a campus of approximately 1,000 students and 45 faculty members. I was responsible for ensuring academic and administrative quality at the campus and maintained an academic atmosphere conducive to best practices in teaching, hiring, staffing and learning.  Assured and assessed student learning, advising, improving graduation rates, setting schedules and faculty courses every quarter, and successfully resolved faculty and student concerns. Additionally, was responsible for evaluating the performance of each full-time faculty and academic staff members.

That said, I lean toward being a transformative, mindful leader. I also teach mindful leadership classes as well as workshops on this subject matter. Being mindful can take you a long way, and also foster more and better productivity from staff and employees.
