I am passionate about creating real impact through housing stability, strategic marketing, and nonprofit leadership. With experience in real estate, donor engagement, and communications, I bring a people-first and results-driven approach to every project. I thrive on building strong partnerships, telling compelling stories, and developing strategies that drive lasting change.
I would love the opportunity to bring my skills in fundraising, marketing, and housing initiatives to a team that is making a real difference in the community.
About Me
From a Clover Leaf Suit to Community Leader
