Throughout my wide-ranging career I have worked to combine my international experience, relationship building, leadership and events and project management with the desire to help others. My professional roles range from Information Systems policy management and cyber security awareness training in higher education to foreign language translation/interpretation and instruction. I have a profound interest in performing arts, demonstrated by my experience both as a music performer, executive leader of a professional string orchestra and the director of development at an art and culture agency. My ease in making respectful connections across borders and cultures is reflected in my success as a fundraiser and, currently, an early childhood professional, a lifelong love for children and desire to help them finally fulfilled.
