Every experience in our lives can serve as a vehicle for transformation. My leadership vision is to influence outcomes that lead to meaningful, lasting, spiritually engaged transformation. As a grantmaker, I am also an inquisitor, an instigator, a holder of complex and paradoxical questions. My DNA is to collaborate, advocate, and hustle. I help move resources to encourage individuals and organizations to speak and live their truth, to dismantle systems of oppression, to self-actualize and become the strongest versions of themselves. I recognize that each of us is a vital force of transformation. So just as one of us awakens, the universe follows our lead and awakens as well. I aspire every day to open my heart, to be an instrument of empathy and compassion, and to remind myself that while I am searching for my answers, my answers are searching for me too.
