I’m a Strategic Thinker & Storyteller, who has led across the Education, Government, and Corporate landscape. I have spent my career driving change, improving organizational performance, managing special revenue sources, and leveraging strategic communications to advance initiatives. In 2015, I made a very intentional decision to transition to the public sector, first as a Senior Project Manager within the City of Atlanta, and eventually moving to Public Education as a 2017 Broad Resident.Identifying the complexities of a problem and creating pathways forward brings me joy, along with success to the organizations I serve. Today, I am the Chief External Relations Officer, and former Chief of Staff, at KIPP Public Schools Jacksonville. From securing and managing multi-million-dollar grants to building and leading Strategy & Communications functions, I have helped KIPP Jacksonville position itself to increase Educational opportunities for over 2,000 kids and counting. I look forward to connecting with other Education Advocates and Social Impact leaders in this work. Areas of expertise: Board Governance, Grant Management, Fundraising, Community Engagement, Partnerships, Project Management, Change Management, Organizational Design, Policy, and Strategy.
