Dynamic social justice servant leader with 20 years of non-profit executive leadership experience serving marginalized individuals and families throughout the Washington-metro area. I have a passion for creating lasting organizational results through systems thinking, effective communication, and creative problem solving.As the Executive Director of Homestretch, an acclaimed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with 50+ housing units, preschool, nursery care center, administrative building, and comprehensive service delivery in Northern Virginia, I oversee the delivery of safe housing and integrated case management to homeless parents with children. I also lead strategic development, fundraising, and advocacy efforts to ensure the sustainability and impact of our mission. In my previous roles, I have successfully built and diversified portfolios from scratch, raised millions of dollars to advance mission-driven causes, and implemented innovative programs to address issues such as gender-based violence, disability, and poverty. What does that all mean? At the end of the day, I'm just inspired by the resilience and potential of the people I serve. And I strive to elevate their voices, build stronger communities, and create a vision for a world where all individuals can thrive.
