Chancellor of Albizu Miami

As the Chancellor of Albizu University’s Miami Campus, I am honored to lead an institution deeply rooted in advancing mental health, behavioral and communication sciences, emerging technologies, intelligence and analytics, cultural understanding, and social responsibility in the communities we serve. Albizu has long stood as a beacon in higher education, empowering students to become compassionate, culturally attuned professionals prepared to make meaningful impacts in multilingual and multicultural environments.

Albizu offers a broad and evolving portfolio of programs that reflect this commitment to community well-being and professional excellence, including our Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology which recently received an unprecedented 10-year reaccreditation approval from APA, our Ph.D. in Human Services, our Mental Health programs, Speech and Language Pathology, Education, and our MBA in Healthcare Management. Building on this strong foundation, the Miami Campus has recently expanded its academic offerings to include forward-looking programs designed to meet workforce needs including emerging technologies and behavioral science fields:

• B.S. in Sports Psychology, Technology & Performance Optimization
• B.S. in Behavioral Intelligence & Analytics
• B.S. in Language & Behavioral Disorders
• B.S. in Cyberpsychology
• B.S. in Psychology (fully in Spanish)
• BBA in Behavioral Business & Innovative Technologies

My vision is to position the Miami Campus of Albizu University, the most affordable regionally accredited non-for-profit private University in Florida and beyond, as a trusted regional leader not only in mental health and speech pathology, but also in behavioral sciences, applied psychology, and innovative behavioral technologies. These programs ensure our students gain both the technical skills and the cultural sensitivity needed to serve a richly diverse and rapidly evolving world.

Achieving this vision requires expanding our academic portfolio, integrating Albizu’s expertise directly into Miami’s schools, clinics, community organizations, and healthcare systems, and cultivating strategic partnerships that enhance access to services, strengthen community wellness, and create meaningful experiential learning opportunities leading directly to workforce opportunities for our students.

With an entrepreneurial mindset, we will continue to innovate our programs, diversify our offerings, and implement adaptable, student-centered learning models that meet today’s and future’s workforce, learners and working professionals needs. This forward-thinking approach will ensure Albizu remains at the forefront of community wellness, behavioral sciences, and culturally competent education.

Collaboration is essential to our success, both here in Miami and with our colleagues at the San Juan Campus and the Mayaguez Center. Together, as One Albizu, we will amplify our mission, align our efforts, share resources, and advance a unified institutional impact that strengthens the communities we serve.

I am excited to continue this journey alongside our dedicated faculty, staff, and students honoring Albizu’s legacy while preparing our graduates to lead with empathy, cultural insight, evidence-based practice, and an enduring commitment to social good.
