Summary

Throughout my career, I have sat on both sides of impact—leading programs at organizations that deliver critical services and securing the resources that make that work possible. That experience has shaped my belief that effective philanthropy is not simply about funding good ideas; it is about aligning people, resources, and strategy to solve complex community challenges. I bring a track record of leading large teams, building strong and effective partnerships, and translating vision into measurable outcomes, with a passion for helping communities thrive through thoughtful, equitable investment.
