1982 Management and Technology Graduate with MBA and MSE degrees

I launched Foundation for Innovators with Integrity to support interdisciplinary experiential learning based on a framework to pursue knowledge. We, including students, must have tools to mitigate the increasing amount of misinformation, especially financial information. We have been focusing on innovations at the expense of integrity for too long. I am a CPA, CMA, CrFA and I have an AICPA Chartered Global Management Accountant certificate.

My lifelong commitment to diversity reflects the fact that I was the only DC Public School graduate to matriculate into Princeton University the year I graduated. I was the only student at UPenn to graduate with both MBA and MSE in Chemical Engineering (others focused on IT). I was the only non-African American starter on my high school football team and among the minority of non-Caucasian Americans on the Princeton football team that was the last team to beat Army and Navy in the same year. I taught “Performance Driven Diversity” and was a member of the AlliedSignal (now Honeywell) Corporate Diversity Council.

I am committed to transparent processes to find ways to reach out to the WCNCR community that can be supported by financial resources. With knowledge of the priorities of our 5,000 Wharton alumni through surveys, WCNCR can prioritize financial resources to deliver sustainable growth.
