Experience
Executive Director
Apr 2019 — Present · Charlotte, NC, US
As CEO and Executive Director of the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation, I lead a passionate staff in pursuit of our mission to preserve, protect, and restore the waters of the Catawba-Wateree River basin for all through education, advocacy, and engagement.Under the guidance of a diverse Board of Directors, we work daily to ensure plentiful, clean, affordable water for generations to come. With over 2.5 million people getting their water from the Catawba River and her lakes, our impact on our community and region are tremendous. The people of Charlotte, NC and the surrounding 26 counties along the basin benefit from our efforts to monitor the health of the river and lakes, advocate for the protection of those waters, and educating our fellow citizens on how they can conserve, protect, and preserve the water for the next generation. Personally, this position allows me to work daily in an intersection of my personal passion for the outdoors and my professional skills in leadership and fund development. It allows me to approach each day with excitement and enthusiasm, knowing that our team is making a difference in our environment and by extension improving the quality of life for our friends and neighbors.I have the pleasure of leading the Catawba Riverkeeper alongside my duties as CEO of Daniel Stowe Conservancy. Both the Conservancy and Catawba Riverkeeper share a deep-rooted passion for the world around us - from clean water to protecting our lands around it and engaging people with that beauty to drive a deeper commitment to conservation and preservation of our natural resources. In this Shared Leadership Role, I am guiding both organizations through the development of a model that will allow both organizations to grow and thrive through collaboration and shared resources.
