Meet the Director

Welcome to the Simmons University School of Business! As the most selective Women-Centered Business School in the United States, I am excited for you to learn more about our programs and how they can launch you on a path to success in your career. Our School of Business champions the success of women, non-binary, transgender students and their supporters as they pursue careers in the for-profit sector and the nonprofit sector, working within existing organizations or launching their own ventures. Our deep commitment to equity and inclusion creates unique opportunities for our graduates to navigate complex organizational contexts and expand opportunities for themselves and other underrepresented professionals.

We hope you’ll join us!
