Bio

I am inspired by people who are brave.

They remind me that so much of life begins outside of my comfort zone. I try to step beyond those boundaries as often as I can. I crave being surrounded by people who challenge me, but who also share my values of integrity, inclusion, out of the box thinking and compassion.

I am a Master of Public Administration (MPA) graduate with excellent project management, marketing and research background. I am experienced in planning, fund development, program analysis, organizational development, marketing strategy, strategic planning, research analysis and public relations.
