About

“Deep human connection is the purpose and the result of a meaningful life.” – Melinda Gates My life experience reminds me daily of the importance in living with purpose. Whether serving on a board of directors for non-profit organizations, or leading teams within the financial industry, I find myself gravitating towards the service of others for more reasons than providing a sense of purpose. Deeply rooted in an improvement mindset, I continue to be supported by education and fueled by growth. With this at my core, I have been able to excel in the various roles while maximizing my experience.
