With 30+ years of experience in nonprofit leadership, community building, and philanthropy, I specialize in empowering organizations to maximize their impact. My expertise spans strategic planning, grant management, donor engagement, and program development, helping nonprofits thrive through innovative solutions and sustainable funding strategies.

Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with a diverse range of Yavapai County and statewide nonprofits, including Verde Valley Sanctuary, Arizona Myeloma Network, Prescott Area Leadership, MATForce, Arizona Business & Education Coalition, and First Things First. My leadership roles have included:

✔ Regional Philanthropic Advisor – Arizona Community Foundation

✔ Projects Director – Youth Count

✔ Project Director – ASU Lodestar Center for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Innovation

✔ Volunteer Coordinator – Society of St. Vincent de Paul

An Arizona native, I’ve spent the past 20+ years in the Verde Valley, raising my son and working to strengthen communities across the state. Passionate about social justice, advocacy for vulnerable populations, and collective action, I’m also dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community and addressing complex social challenges through collaboration and innovation.
