I’m passionate about connecting people, ideas, and opportunities to drive meaningful impact, especially in the nonprofit sector. With a foundation in broadcast journalism from Kent State University, I began my career as a feature reporter for the Pittsburgh Penguins, where I discovered my love for storytelling and brand building.A chance encounter with NFL legend Jerome Bettis was a turning point, merging my interests in sports and marketing. After successfully managing an event for his Bus Stops Here Foundation, I was honored to step into the role of Executive Director. In this capacity, I oversee all aspects of fundraising, grant writing, and brand development, continually striving to elevate the foundation’s mission.At Valiant 3 Communications, I lead with a focus on helping clients achieve greater efficiency and success without sacrificing what matters most—time. My approach is rooted in building strong relationships, enhancing brand visibility, and solving problems creatively and strategically.Beyond the office, I’m driven by a love for sports, a commitment to community service, and a belief that effective communication can change the world. My goal is to continue using my diverse skill set to make a lasting impact on the organizations and people I work with.
