As Program Manager, Institutional Partnerships at Peirce College, I’m responsible for Peirce’s outreach to the military and community colleges. Part of that role includes initiating new agreements with community colleges and promoting awareness of Peirce through visits, scholarship events, classroom presentations, joint program presentations and departmental interchange. My military initiative includes outreach to military installations, promotion of the new G.I. Bill, attendance at “yellow ribbon” events for returning military, working with education specialists in the military and promotion of the Peirce College Protect & Serve® Grant. I was born and raised in East Africa before moving to the U.S., where I finished high school and earned my bachelor’s degree from Trinity Christian College in Chicago. I currently live in Doylestown, Pa., where I spend my free time restoring a former Bucks County farm house and gardening.
