From overcoming significant personal and professional challenges to leading multimillion-dollar nonprofit organizations, I understand firsthand what it takes to lead through uncertainty, build resilient teams, and create lasting impact.
With over two decades of nonprofit experience, I have led organizations through growth, crisis, and restructuring. My approach is built on the foundation of having served in the high-stakes roles of Executive Director, Vice President of Programs and Operations, Chief Program Officer, and Division Director.

20+ Years of Executive Leadership: A proven track record of navigating budget reductions, compliance mandates, and program rebuilding.
