Experience
Founder, CEO and President
The Love And Kindness Project Foundation
May 2019 — Present · Naperville, IL, US
In late 2016, seeing a growing trend of unkindness in the world, I had an idea. That idea was to create small green buttons with red hearts on them and slips of paper with messages such as ‘Plant Kindness and Grow Love’, and ‘Practice Kindness’. My idea was to anonymously leave buttons and slips wherever I was – airport, grocery store, restaurants - for people to find! A small reminder that wherever we are, whoever we are, and whatever we believe in, as long as we treat each other kindly, the world will be a great place for all of us.Two and half years - and more than Love and Kindness buttons later - I founded The Love and Kindness Project Foundation. Dedicated to creating a world of #LoveB4money, the Foundation ‘fosters projects that create love and kindness in the world’ by: • Giving out, at no cost, Love and Kindness Buttons, Plant Kindness – Grow Love Yard Signs and Circle of Kindness Bracelets • Providing materials and support for those who want to facilitate Kindness Kards for Kids and Helping Circle Activities• Hosting Kindness Events• Providing micro-grants and coaching to help people create their own love and kindness projectThe Foundation is supported by donations and by proceeds from the sale of the book I authored “Big Karma and Little Kosmo Help Each Other”. To learn more about the Foundation, order buttons, yard signs, bracelets and copies of Big Karma and Little Kosmo, visit our website at
