Bridging the Gaps Between Education, Industry, and Policy.

Strategic consulting, workforce framework design, and program evaluation engineered to build sustainable talent pipelines and elevate community impact.

The Mission

Learning and professional growth shouldn't be confined to traditional silos. True regional impact happens when K-12 systems, higher education, industry leaders, and policymakers work in lockstep to build accessible, lifelong learning pathways.

I partner with educational institutions, state agencies, non-profits, and workforce boards to turn complex community challenges into clear, actionable, and scalable strategies. Whether you are looking to design a regional STEM ecosystem, evaluate an academic grant, or unite competitive stakeholders around a shared workforce goal, I provide the outside perspective and deep expertise needed to move the needle.

Core Capabilities

• Workforce & Talent Strategy: Conducting deep-dive regional landscape analyses to align educational offerings directly with emerging industry demands.
• Program Development & Grant Evaluation: Ensuring the integrity, funding, and measurable impact of your educational initiatives from ideation to data-driven review.
• Strategic Ecosystem Building: Facilitating high-stakes coalitions, state-level advisory boards, and public-private partnerships that last.

Edit this Page

To edit this page, navigate to the folder you installed Grav into, and browse to the user/pages/01.home folder. Open default.md in your editor of choice. You'll see the content of this page written in Markdown format.

Create a New Page

Creating a new page is a simple affair in Grav. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your pages folder — user/pages/ — and create a new folder. In this example, we'll use explicit default ordering and call the folder 03.mypage.

2. Launch your text editor and paste in the following sample content:

   ---
   title: My New Page
   ---
   # My New Page!
   
   This is the body of **my new page** and I can easily use _Markdown_ syntax here.

3. Save this file in user/pages/03.mypage/ as default.md. That tells Grav to render the page using the default template from Quark 2.

4. Reload your browser to see your new page appear in the menu.

What's new in Grav 2.0

Grav 2.0 is the biggest release in the project's history — a modernized core, a rebuilt admin, a fresh default theme, and an updated dependency stack. Most of what you already know still works, but everything underneath has been sharpened.

• PHP 8.3+ baseline, with a modernized core and typed internals throughout.
• Symfony 7 + Twig 3 dependency stack, bringing the latest framework improvements and long-term support.
• Quark 2 as the default theme — Blades CSS, Font Awesome 7, auto/light/dark mode with localStorage persistence, locally-hosted Cal Sans + Inter fonts, and a refined Cal.com-inspired design system.
• Admin 2.0 — a fully API-powered SPA interface that's dramatically faster, more responsive, and decoupled from page renders. Navigation, form saves, and media operations no longer trigger full reloads.
• Public REST API — the same endpoints that power Admin 2.0 are available to your own tools and integrations.
• GitHub Markdown Alerts — the legacy markdown-notices plugin has been replaced by github-markdown-alerts, using the familiar > [!NOTE] / [!TIP] / [!IMPORTANT] / [!WARNING] / [!CAUTION] syntax.
• Refined caching and asset pipeline — cleaner invalidation, faster cold starts, and smarter dependency fingerprinting.
• Hardened security defaults — tightened CSP headers, modern session handling, and improved input sanitization across core plugins.
• Better developer ergonomics — stricter type hints, cleaner event signatures, and clearer deprecation paths.
