Most recently, Dr. Romano served as Assistant Vice President for Marketing & Brand at St. John’s University. As a key leader, she played a critical role in developing and implementing the institution’s strategic marketing and communications plan and supporting Admissions and faculty colleagues on graduate enrollment, as well as Advancement and Alumni Relations.
