Connecting people, building culture and crafting experiences to lead innovation and impact

St Louis, Missouri, United States

About

I love bringing people together to create something greater than the sum of its parts. My career has spanned nonprofit, higher education and the private sector, but the common thread is turning vision into action. From helping organizations grow their revenue through innovative, sustainable engagement strategies, to building and launching large-scale strategic partnerships, I thrive in big-picture thinking with a bias for action—connecting the dots between strategy and execution, ideas and resources, people and purpose. I’ve led cross-functional teams, catalyzed engagement, and built partnerships that drive lasting impact. I’m always looking for new ways to foster innovation, spark collaboration, and build something that truly lasts.
