I am an executive leader with nearly two decades of experience guiding nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and cross-sector partnerships through growth, transition, and impact expansion.My work sits at the intersection of equity, public health, food systems, and community economic development. I specialize in helping organizations strengthen governance, diversify revenue, build durable operating systems, and translate values into measurable outcomes. Across roles, I have partnered closely with boards, funders, and civic leaders to scale impact while maintaining accountability and mission alignment.I have led organizations and initiatives through periods of rapid growth, heightened public visibility, and organizational complexity, bringing a steady, systems-oriented approach grounded in equity and long-term sustainability. My leadership is shaped by deep experience in policy, place-based development, and public health, and by a commitment to building institutions that serve communities with integrity and clarity.
