EMPOWERING FEMALE LEADERS FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE BOARDROOM As the Executive Director of TeamWomen, serving on the Board of Directors since 2016, my team and I have grown TW into a premiere professional women’s organization to over 550 members, who are committed to developing the future generation of women leaders. I am excited to lead the expansion TW and our EMPOWER Leadership Academy for Girls into cities nationwide.

STRATEGIC VISIONARY - CONNECTING FOR GROWTH Recognized as a ‘strategic growth visionary’, I have an been told that I have an outstanding ability to connect deeply and authentically with people and through my extensive network I create unique opportunities with partners, sponsors and funders to generate the best possible outcomes for all stakeholders.

THRILL-SEEKER - ASK ME ABOUT HANGING OUT OF A HELICOPTER I began my career as a Location Sound person for an International tv production company. For Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, I hung out of a helicopter, shooting footage over the Mediterranean and flying over the top of the castle in Monoco. I was recruited to an innovative event firm as VP Production.
