Experience
Director, Community Impact and Engagement
Aug 2024 — Present · Chapel Hill, NC, US
The best experiences are the ones that bring people together with purpose and intention. At Morehead-Cain, I lead signature events, alumni engagement initiatives, and special programs that foster lifelong connections to our Community. With a background in higher education, communications, and nonprofit programming, I bring a people-first approach to everything I do—from shaping meaningful in-person gatherings to developing messaging that resonates and mobilizes. Whether planning a multi-day alumni forum, launching a major campaign, or designing a travel experience, I focus on creating environments where individuals feel seen, inspired, and reconnected to something bigger than themselves.I’m always excited to collaborate on ideas that bridge generations, build community, and move the Morehead-Cain mission forward.
