Dr. Audra Verrier is the Associate Vice Provost of Career and Professional Development at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA.
She has been a leader in higher education for the past 20 years and is a sought-after facilitator and educator on topics as such as strategic planning and organizational development in the non-profit sector, the psychology of leadership, ecopsychology and systems thinking, professional development, and entrepreneurial skills for leaders in education. She earned a doctorate in psychology and her research focuses on women and BIPOC communities overcoming bias and adversity, career and leadership development, and first generation students.
In this episode we discuss how her study of East-West psychology, and eco-psychology specifically, informs her leadership style, the way in which her reporting line into enrollment management (an emerging but still unique reporting line for career services) influences her approach to the work, why she focuses on systemic issues over people issues, her own ambitions beyond career services, and so much more!
Dr. Verrier was recently recognized with the MPACE Rising Star Award, and it's clear why: she is a bright light and thought leader in our field, and I'm honored to share this insightful and inspiring conversation with our listeners.
