For nearly 20 years, I’ve led teams and organizations across nonprofit, pharmaceutical, and education sectors, focusing on mission-driven growth and meaningful impact. I strive to combine strategic thinking and operational best practices with integrity to create lasting change.

×´She has the valuable gift of encouraging a group of eager and diverse individuals to contribute their best gifts towards creating, and then bringing to pass, a common vision. She did this by adeptly creating a safe zone for eliciting, exploring, and helping to shape ideas, big and small. I always felt heard, and I often marveled at the evolution of ideas crafted by the volunteer group under her leadership. ×´
