Her dream at age 12 was to become an internationalist, which she accomplished midway through her public service career.
As a diplomat, she served as First Secretary-Consul, American Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya responsible for the management of the embassy; and as Consul General, head of the American Consulate General in Lyon, France. Her other federal government positions have been in three states and the District of Columbia; and she has received numerous honors and awards for her outstanding achievements.
Dr. Stanford’s commitment to improving working conditions for people of color, and women, occurred early in her career when she first discovered institutional racism and sexism. This discovery set her on a course of becoming an effective agent for change. She says “I particularly enjoy working with organization leaders who create workplaces in which employees thrive, not just tolerate, and are highly productive.”
As a Visiting Fellow with The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, Princeton, New Jersey, Dr. Stanford visited colleges and universities to conduct programs on public policy and international affairs. She also established, and served as its first Executive Director, the Institute of International Public Policy in Fairfax, VA, which is a creation of the US Congress to train students of color for international careers. As an independent consultant/trainer, Dr. Stanford prepares professionals for international service.
She holds a doctorate degree in International Relations, and a Master’s Degree in Public Administration.view less
