Beloved by students as “Dr. Rosie” or “Miss Rosie,” Dr. Marie Michelle Rosemond is a transformational leader, educator, author, and executive coach whose work empowers professionals to rise stronger in seasons of transition. A former Vice President in higher education, Dr. Rosie spent decades serving in college leadership roles, where she built data-informed systems that strengthened student success, retention, and belonging.

Her unexpected exit from the C-suite became the catalyst for a profound journey of reinvention. Through faith, community, and deep personal healing, she discovered that identity is not defined by titles—but by purpose. This revelation birthed The S.H.I.N.E. Blueprint™, her signature framework that guides leaders through Surrendered Seasons, Hope Restored, Identity Rebuilt, New Levels of Faith, and Elevated Purpose.

Dr.Rosemond has built a distinguished career as a professor, strategic planning leader, special education teacher, and consultant supporting student success, parent engagement, and executive leadership. Her journey began at just eight years old, co-teaching ESL alongside her father, and evolved into national presentations, TRIO and Summer Enrichment leadership, and serving as the inaugural Vice President for Student Engagement and Success.

Dr. Rosie is the founder of Rosie’s Library, LLC, a multifaceted platform offering S.H.I.N.E. leadership coaching, wellness programs, and K–12 educational support. She is also a decorated powerlifter, using her story to inspire strength—both spiritual and physical—in those she serves.

Today, she speaks, writes, and teaches with one mission: to remind people that when a career ends, identity doesn’t. Through her work, she equips others to navigate life’s transitions with faith, courage, and renewed purpose.
