About

I am a seasoned manager and leader who gets things done. With a strong foundation in consulting, I’ve led portfolio and project management efforts, driven business development initiatives, and built staff capacity across a wide range of government agencies and services—including technical assistance, research and evaluation, and technology.

My special sauce lies in engagement: I work closely with stakeholders to co-create systems and processes that deliver successful outcomes. I’m motivated by making things run at their best and inspiring individuals to collaborate across functions—bringing together diverse perspectives to achieve shared goals.

As an engagement specialist, I thrive when leading across boundaries and organizations to unlock positive results. I’m known for making people feel heard and valued, and I’m happiest when improving processes and systems through inclusive collaboration. Mentoring junior team members is especially energizing for me, and I’m seeking a role that aligns with my passion for driving meaningful change in dynamic, mission-driven environments.
