Greater Memphis Area

Founding CEO of Center for Transforming Communities (CTC), a technical assistance intermediary specializing in place-based initiatives and community engagement. CTC’s core purpose is to equip congregations and neighborhoods to work together to rebuild and renew community life in the Memphis Metro area. The flagship program that CTC offers is called Communities of Shalom. The program is part of a national initiative to transform our world, one neighborhood at a time. During my tenure, results included six new neighborhood coalitions comprised of diverse participants representing residents, businesses, churches, nonprofits, schools, and other institutions. Through CTC’s leadership training, capacity building, technical assistance and network weaving, these neighborhoods have launched over 150 community-created and community-led initiatives. In addition to these place-based results, CTC was instrumental in a mindset shift across Memphis to one that values community engagement and asset/strength based approaches to community revitalization.

I have worked as a nonprofit consultant and free agent nonprofit professional for ten years. My expertise is in starting new initiatives whether it be a new department, a new program or a new nonprofit. My areas of competence include strategic planning, fund development, community organizing, partnerships, and organizational systems and processes. My passion is faith-based social justice/change work especially related to diversity, equity and inclusion.
