Passionate about social change, I lead teams, build programs, and set strategy for public health, nonprofit, and mission-driven organizations.
Leadership and strategy to inspire action.

With over 25 years’ experience in community and public health, nonprofits, philanthropy, and education, I blend strategic thinking with a practical approach. I partner with social change organizations to lead teams, launch programs, navigate change, and build capacity. In short, I turn a vision into reality.
