Driven by a deep belief in the power of community, I bring over a decade of experience designing and leading purpose-driven programs that align business priorities with meaningful social impact. Throughout my career, I've built and scaled initiatives across the nonprofit and corporate sectors. From launching ambassador programs and grantmaking committees to deepening volunteerism and community partnerships at organizations like Nordstrom (current employer), First Tech Federal Credit Union, the Black United Fund of Oregon, and the Portland Trail Blazers. My expertise lies in creating strategy that inspires action. Using data-informed storytelling, equity-centered design, and strong stakeholder relationships to deliver programs that drive meaningful change. I’m passionate about fostering cultures of engagement and belonging, and I thrive when working at the intersection of people and purpose. Whether driving community impact, shaping employee experiences through community engagement, or elevating brand purpose, I’m committed to building lasting change through authentic connection and collaboration. Let’s connect and explore what’s possible.
