I'm a community builder used to wearing many hats. I have experience working in startup, corporate, nonprofit, and city government environments. I'm passionate about helping ideas and organizations grow to the next level. I believe empathy and collaboration can move mountains. I'm a right-brained conceptualizer with left-brained execution and enjoy creating unique opportunities out of untapped markets. At Yelp, I received the "Be Unboring" company value award for my development and launch of a national marketing initiative to connect and engage with a new user demographic. I was nationally recognized for my recruiting efforts to enhance the vitality of the Downtown Highland Park business district. I was also featured in TIME magazine for my entrepreneurial business endeavors. I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and making sense out of all the moving parts. I've been told I'm resourceful, fiercely loyal, compassionate, transparent, and super geeky (in a good way) when it comes to analyzing data and the need to research everything. I thrive in the unknown and love teamwork. There is always room to learn something new.
