With a passion for empowering communities and a track record of leadership in the nonprofit sector, I have dedicated my career to creating opportunities for marginalized groups, particularly within the visually impaired and disabled communities. As the founder and president of the SoCal Beep Baseball Association, I have built and led a pioneering organization that offers athletic opportunities for blind and visually impaired individuals across Southern California. My work has been instrumental in developing the first all-women’s beep baseball team in the region, the West Coast Echo, and in expanding the reach of beep baseball as a sport that promotes inclusivity and teamwork.In addition to my work with the SoCal Beep Baseball Association, I serve as the Co-Chair of Public Relations for the National Beep Baseball Association (NBBA), where I focus on strategic networking, outreach, and league business. My efforts in these roles have contributed to the growth and visibility of beep baseball on both a regional and national level, fostering partnerships, securing media coverage, and driving community engagement.My expertise extends beyond sports and nonprofit management. With experience in budget planning, board approvals, and report writing, I have a comprehensive understanding of the operational and strategic aspects of running a successful nonprofit organization.A seasoned public relations professional, I have collaborated with various local and national media outlets, such as NBC’s Today Show, to highlight the achievements of the teams and organizations I represent. I excel in creating compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences and drive meaningful engagement.Whether it’s building teams, securing funding, or advocating for accessibility, I am committed to making a lasting impact. My leadership is grounded in the belief that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves the chance to participate, compete, and thrive.
