Summary

For over a decade, I’ve designed and led initiatives that bring together funders, partners, and communities to move the needle on equity, economic mobility, and access to quality career pathways. I’m known for turning bold visions into operational roadmaps, aligning stakeholders across silos, and cultivating learning environments that fuel systems change. Whether launching cross-sector collaboratives or advising on place-based strategies, I lead with data, curiosity, and a clear eye on results. I bring experience engaging with policymakers and developing field-building tools that scale. A natural facilitator and problem solver, I thrive where strategy meets implementation. I’m ready to help shape the future of opportunity, one well-coordinated, outcomes-driven program at a time.
