Let’s Build Something Meaningful Together

With over two decades of experience in corporate strategy, nonprofit leadership, and entrepreneurship, I bring a unique perspective to helping organizations grow with purpose. From advising federal clients as a Strategy Manager at Cigna/Express Scripts, to launching Savanna & Steep, a hospitality venture built from the ground up, to directing nonprofit programs that make a community impact — I understand what it takes to turn ideas into sustainable results. I partner with both businesses and nonprofits to design strategies, strengthen operations, and create brands that resonate.

Work hard, play hard, and live without regrets.... Outside of my professional endeavors, I enjoy traveling, reading, cooking, nature walks, and photography.
