About

I help teams move ideas from concept to execution. I’ve spent my career supporting nonprofits and corporate teams with programs, campaigns, communications, and events—often stepping in when there’s a clear goal but limited time or bandwidth. I’m known for bringing structure, follow-through, and calm to complex work. I take ownership, keep things moving, and make sure stakeholders stay aligned without adding unnecessary layers. My background includes global employee engagement, philanthropy and volunteer programs, executive communications, and large-scale campaigns—working across teams, time zones, and priorities. I’m currently open to part-time opportunities and partnerships where an extra set of capable hands can make a real difference.
