Her responsibilities included optimizing business practices, managing a multi-million-dollar budget, and ensuring alignment with the organization's long-term vision. In her role as Vice President of Student Affairs, she developed and implemented policies across enrollment, financial aid, academic affairs, and career services.
Ms. Alleman holds a Master's degree in Educational Administration in Higher Education and a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of New Orleans, earned in 2002 and 1997, respectively. Today, she applies her leadership experience and deep market expertise to managing risk and generating returns in the crude oil derivatives market.
