What do you love doing outside of work?
I love planning and spending time in my garden. You’ll also find me hiking and being outdoors with my kids and our dog, Honey. I also love reading science fiction, playing board games, and working on puzzles.

What experiences do you bring to your work helping clients?
I bring experience partnering with progressive nonprofit organizations to raise funds, expand their communities, and tell impactful stories. My career has been dedicated to the idea that professional excellence should serve a progressive mission. Whether driving digital strategy or user experience for organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association, Bend the Arc, and NOW, raising funds through online campaigns for American Rivers and Reading Is Fundamental, or streamlining operations for progressive marketing agencies, my goal has always been to build the systems that empower people to do good in the world.
One issue I am passionate about is:
Suicide prevention and mental health. I participated in the overnight Walk Out of Darkness with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and advocate for mental health resources.
What drew me to this work?
I am drawn to this work because helping progressives leverage their wealth for impact is a natural extension of my work in the nonprofit and advocacy space. I am inspired by our firm’s approach to combining financial know-how with personal ethics, which mirrors my own use of rigorous data and evidence-based strategies to drive audience engagement and human-centric outcomes.
