    Dr. Amy VanDerWerf Carroll (she/her/hers) brings joy and empathy to every interaction at Credo. With a unique blend of problem-solving skills, creativity, and a systems-oriented approach, Amy collaborates with colleges and universities to foster positive change. She’s dedicated to keeping students and their success at the heart of campus decision-making. Amy’s vast experience in leading and coaching teams empowers her to support campus leaders as they navigate challenges, drive organizational growth, and remove obstacles to student success.

    empowering teams to achieve their full potential

    As a senior consultant for student success, Amy approaches colleges and universities with a strategic orientation, allowing her to understand and optimize organizational interconnections and influences. In addition to executive coaching and strategic advising, Amy empowers leaders and teams to achieve their full potential in her oversight for the MTN Collaborative, Phase 2 of Credo’s Moving the Needle Project.

    “I’m committed to continuous learning, which not only keeps me current and effective in my work but it also ensures that I’m always equipped with the latest knowledge and strategies to help every student reach their full potential.

    Outside of Credo, Amy loves all things Minnesota: Caribou Coffee, lakes, the Minnesota State Fair, Honey Crisp Apples, and U of M Golden Gopher Basketball. She is most grateful for family, friends, and her dog Potato—all of which she credits with keeping life interesting.
