Clarity | Excellence | Experience
Trusted leader who helps people bring vision into form.
I bring over 20 years of multidisciplinary leadership and an unparalleled capacity to bring people together to get things done.
Known for building trust quickly, rallying people around ideas and getting projects off the ground — especially when the stakes are high or path isn’t clear.
I’m in search of a strategic operations or senior program role.
Weaving nonprofit leadership, high-impact event production, and entrepreneurial experience with my personal interest in arts and culture, I would love to contribute to a team of creative, mission-driven people.
“I've worked with a lot of people with ‘stuff and fluff’ — they can smooth talk, sell it to upper management and get recognized but in the end what gets done?
With you, I admired how you really got things done. I always had complete confidence in you. No doubts.”
