Senior leader with 20+ years of social impact and community engagement leadership experience, which includes 15+ years in corporate philanthropy and 8+ years in nonprofits.Throughout my career, I’ve envisioned, built and scaled philanthropic programs, a for-profit business and a nonprofit organization all from the ground up. Most recently, I launched the REI Cooperative Action Fund, a nonprofit organization within a corporate business environment.With a passion for conscious leadership and human well-being, I am committed to supporting a workplace culture of learning, curiosity, transparency and belonging. Boards, executives, teammates and community partners know me as leader who can easily connect with and convene a wide range of people, an authentic thought partner who leads with an entrepreneurial mindset and a community engagement maven who cultivates trust-based and meaningful partnerships.Contact me to discuss building and leading community engagement and philanthropic programs & foundations, setting a vision for large-scale social impact initiatives or the health and well-being benefits of time spent outside.
