Building relationships and connecting organizations to create equitable opportunities for children, youth, and families. My daily motivation to continue driving change through collaborative work in my community are my two brilliant little boys, Wallace and Brooks. I excel in systems-level strategies, marketing, project management/event planning, cat herding, and navigating a room full of personalities.Prior to working for Chattanooga 2.0, I had the privilege to develop my strategic marketing and project management skills in a variety of private-sector industries. Within each new industry that I worked, it became increasingly apparent that the lack of clear communication and listening to client needs is what holds the majority of companies back from greatness. It was not until I began working in the world of nonprofits, however, that I truly found my calling for creating opportunities in education and career through multi-organization collaboration and community engagement (aka collective impact).
